Projected final score: 1-1<\/h3>

Hajduk Split arrive in Žilina with superior pre-season momentum, winning all three friendlies without conceding, while the hosts are winless across four warm-up fixtures. That form gap supports at least a share of the spoils for the Croatian side, priced at 2.14<\/a> to progress. Sanyang’s suspension and Sigur’s absence limit Hajduk’s depth but Livaja’s return keeps their attacking options credible.<\/p>

A 1-1<\/strong> scoreline reflects two sides capable of finding the net but neither dominant enough to pull clear in a first-leg European qualifier. Žilina will carry a home crowd advantage and that 2009 psychological echo, while Hajduk’s defensive solidity from pre-season suggests they will not concede freely. N\/A aligns with the cautious, structured approach expected from both managers in a two-legged tie.<\/p>

Match Analysis<\/h2>

Hajduk Split arrive as the clear favorite at 2.14<\/a>, backed by a flawless pre-season showing three wins and zero goals conceded. Manager Gonzalo Garcia reports strong squad chemistry, with new signings and the returning Marko Livaja adding depth and attacking threat.<\/p>
