Atalanta held goalless by Hapoel Tel Aviv in Conference League playoff
Atalanta and Hapoel Tel Aviv shared a goalless draw at New Balance Arena in the UEFA Europa Conference League playoff round, with neither side able to find a breakthrough across the ninety minutes.

AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Sarri's side dominated territory, holding 61% of possession, but could not turn that control into a decisive edge, managing five shots with three on target. Hapoel, under Elyaniv Barda, sat deeper for spells but still had six attempts of their own, four on target, and were the more direct outfit at times despite seeing less of the ball. The away side also picked up more fouls, with 14 committed to Atalanta's 10.
Both teams arrived with contrasting recent form, Atalanta having won three of their last five including victories over Athletic Club and Schalke 04, while Hapoel had strung together the WDWW sequence that preceded a defeat to GKS Katowice. Neither run translated into a breakthrough on this occasion, leaving the tie finely balanced after a cagey, low-event stalemate.
Odilon Kossounou was rated the top performer on the pitch with a 7.5 mark, marshalling Atalanta's defence to preserve the clean sheet. Marcus Coco and Fernand Mayembo were not far behind for Hapoel, both rated 7.3 as they helped their side hold firm away from home.
Atalanta's 61% share of possession underlined their control of the contest, though it was not enough to yield a goal.
Atalanta and Hapoel Tel Aviv drew 0–0 (half-time 0–0).

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Atalanta 75%, the draw 18%, Hapoel Tel Aviv 7%. It finished Atalanta 0–0 Hapoel Tel Aviv.
Atalanta's rating gap decides it — Atalanta are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Atalanta's 75%. The draw at 18% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Atalanta at 75%?
Atalanta sit 382 points higher on our strength rating — 1959 to 1576. Sides with a more than 300-point rating edge at home won 79.8% of 5,070 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 75–18–7.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 75% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 18% and Hapoel Tel Aviv at 7%.
Why is the draw only 18%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 16.9%. These teams' recent games average 2.4 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,595.
What did we measure but not count?
Hapoel Tel Aviv have 6 fully-tracked matches with us — under our usual 25-game bar — but their strength rating is anchored to the long-run European club ratings list, which carries their wider competitive history into the number. Clubs from leagues we don't fully cover play too few tracked games for a record built from scratch, so their rating chain starts from published long-run club ratings instead of a blind first guess.
