Thousands of Hapoel Tel Aviv Fans Travel to Hungary for Conference League Match Against Ludogorets

Hapoel Tel Aviv will face Ludogorets Razgrad in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League on Thursday at 21:30 in Miskolc, Hungary, a venue serving as their home ground for this fixture. Despite being considered the underdogs against the Bulgarian side, Hapoel's coach Aliniv Breda and his staff aim to secure a favorable result in the first leg to keep hopes alive for the return match. The team recently won a penalty shootout 3-1 against Beitar Jerusalem in the Toto Cup after a 2-2 draw in regular time, boosting morale ahead of the European challenge.

Thousands of Hapoel Tel Aviv supporters are expected to attend the match, showing strong enthusiasm for the club's return to European competition. The coaching staff reminded players that Ludogorets is a quality opponent and that the game will test their resilience, but also praised last season's achievements as proof of their capability to perform on big stages. Doron Leidner, who was substituted in the first half of the recent Toto Cup match, is expected to start, while the club continues to seek an additional left-back to compete with Leidner, maintaining contact with player Yehav Gurfinkel.
