Atalanta Bergamo
- Atalanta Bergamo have won three of their last five matches.
- La Dea have won four of their last ten matches across all competitions, drawing two and losing four, but they are in good form, winning three of their last five and making it back-to-back victories with a 3-0 away win over FC Schalke 04 and a 1-0 home win over Athletic Bilbao last time out.
- La Dea have scored six goals in their five home games across all competitions, which means they are averaging 1.20 goals per game, so they are more a side that build up pressure over time than explode out of the gates.
Hapoel Tel-Aviv
- Hapoel Tel-Aviv have won one of their last three matches, drawing one and losing one.
- Sarri's new setup is a more measured possession approach than we have seen from Atalanta in recent years, which should be a good fit for the compact 4-2-3-1 of Elyaniv Barda, whose team have made a decent start to the season with four wins, three draws and three defeats in their last ten across all competitions.
Atalanta
Atalanta's Nikola Krstovic has been in scintillating form up front for Sarri, netting three of his side's eight goals across the last five games, but the most likely source of the first goal in this game will probably be the hosts.
Hapoel
Emmanuel Boateng has scored two of Hapoel's goals in this competition so far and can score at any time.
