In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting Barcelona.The manager Etxegoien will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Atletico Madrid in only three days.
Hajduk Split form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Vitoria Guimaraes in order to reach play-offs of Europa Conference League. They also participated in Europa Conference League last season. This ended in the 2nd qualifying round, when Tobol drew the shortest straw.Hajduk Split have six points from their first three away games in the 1. HNL, meaning two victories and a loss.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Hajduk, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-4 versus Dinamo Zagreb. It's possibly a bad omen for Hajduk Split that their goalkeeper Kalinić pulled off seven saves in the Dinamo Zagreb game, but still were unable to stop a beating. Midfield player Atanasov was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.33/10. Atanasov scored one goal.
A new game in only three days for Hajduk, the 1. HNL home match versus Lokomotiva Zagreb. Busy days.
Hajduk Split are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. Hajduk Split have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
