Both sides arrive with limited recent data, but Hapoel Tel Aviv have demonstrated a clear edge in front of their fans, while Atalanta have only a 0‑0 draw to show from their last league outing.

Robbo's Verdict

Strong
Hapoel Tel Aviv to win Lost Solid lean Strong · Home advantage

Given the 2.0 vs 1.35 expected goals and the model’s 52.5% probability of a home win, backing Hapoel Tel Aviv is the logical choice.

Show the maths
The model assigns Hapoel Tel Aviv a 2.0 expected goal value compared with Atalanta's 1.35, creating a clear xG gap of 0.65. Translating that gap into win probabilities yields a 52.5% chance for Hapoel, 25.8% for Atalanta and 21.7% for a draw. The higher xG combined with Hapoel's zero goals‑against average at home pushes the win probability above the 50% threshold, solidifying the pick.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 64.0% model probability

With Hapoel Tel Aviv averaging 2.0 expected goals and Atalanta averaging 1.35, the model gives a 64.0% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 36.0% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Hapoel Tel Aviv 2.0, Atalanta 1.35) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 64.0% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 36.0% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals Lost 65.0% model probability

Combined expected goals of 3.4 (Hapoel Tel Aviv 2.0 + Atalanta 1.35) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 65.0% chance against 35.0% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Hapoel Tel Aviv 2.0 + Atalanta 1.35 = 3.4 combined): 65.0% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 35.0% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Hapoel Tel Aviv at 52.5%, the draw at 21.7%, and Atalanta at 25.8% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 9.5% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Hapoel Tel Aviv

WDWLD

Hapoel Tel Aviv’s recent five-game run reads W‑D‑W‑L‑D, highlighted by a 2‑0 home win over Ludogorets and a 2‑0 home victory against GKS Katowice – both showing they can score twice without reply.

Atalanta
