Hapoel Tel Aviv
Hapoel Tel Aviv’s recent league form reads WD, highlighted by a 2-0 home win over Ludogorets and a 2-2 away draw with the same opponents. The win demonstrates their ability to dominate at home, and the draw shows they can still find the net away, reinforcing the confidence in a home win pick.
GKS Katowice
GKS Katowice’s form of LW includes a 1-2 away loss to Žilina and a 3-1 home win against the same side.
