Atalanta Warned to Watch Hapoel Tel Aviv's Dangerous Wingers Ahead of Conference League Playoff
Hapoel Tel Aviv is set to face Italian Serie A club Atalanta on Thursday in the UEFA Conference League playoff round. Atalanta, one of Italy's strongest teams, must overcome Hapoel to secure a European campaign this season. The Italian fan site Pianta Atalanta analyzed Hapoel Tel Aviv's squad, highlighting the threat posed by their wingers Stav Turiel and Roy Alkokin. Turiel has scored 12 goals and provided six assists, while Alkokin is praised for his versatility and strong performance in a role similar to Atalanta's Luis Muriel, notably impressing in a recent match against Katowice.
The analysis describes Hapoel as a smart team that typically plays a 4-2-3-1 formation. It also notes that while Hapoel tends to commit many fouls, they possess one of the best defenses in the Israeli Premier League. Last season, the team received nine red cards in 36 matches, a relatively high number. Despite these strengths, Atalanta remains the heavy favorite going into the match.
The game represents a significant challenge for Hapoel Tel Aviv as they aim to advance in European competition against a top-tier Italian side.
