What happened. Atalanta are level at 0-0 with Hapoel Tel Aviv ahead of Thursday's second leg, with coach Maurizio Sarri expecting a tough match.

Sarri says De Ketelaere is available but not fully fit after an adductor problem.
The coach is undecided between Scamacca and Krstovic for the centre-forward role.
Sarri expects Hapoel to maintain their defensive and counter-attacking approach.

“It’ll be a difficult match, we saw that in the first leg, but we have to be convinced we can do it.”

Atalanta must win to advance to the Conference League group stage.
