Hapoel Tel Aviv Prepares for Crucial Match Against Ludogorets with Caution and Confidence
Hapoel Tel Aviv arrived in Razgrad, Bulgaria, ahead of their decisive match against Ludogorets, aiming to secure their progression after a 2-0 away win in Hungary. The team conducted their final training session in Bulgaria on July 29, having landed there earlier in the week. Inside the club, the message to players is clear: nothing is guaranteed yet despite the favorable lead. The club recalled a similar situation in 2017 when Hapoel Be'er Sheva, after a 2-0 first-leg victory, faced a challenging second leg in Razgrad, initially falling behind 3-0 before managing to advance on away goals.
Hapoel Tel Aviv hopes to energize the 1,450 fans who traveled to support them and continue their European campaign. Coach Eliniv Berda plans to maintain the starting lineup from the first leg, with Shanda Silva on the left wing and Emmanuel Boateng leading the attack. The expected starting eleven includes Asaf Tzur, Marcus Coco, Fernan Mayembo, Chico Alves, Doron Leidner, Lucas Palao, Adrian Kraviev, Omri Altman, Shanda Silva, Satu Turiel, and Emmanuel Boateng.
The club's cautious optimism reflects their intent to avoid complacency and secure a positive result to advance further in the competition.
