Hajduk Split has lost five of their last eight away games in European competitions, raising concerns about their performance on the road. Meanwhile, Pafos demonstrated strong form at home last season, making them favorites to win the second tie of their encounter. The key recommendation is to back Pafos for a home victory, leveraging their recent home-field advantage and Hajduk Split's ongoing struggles as visitors.

Hajduk Split have been much stronger at home, but struggled away to Zilina in the previous round. Pafos didn’t deserve to lose the first leg by two goals, and I am backing them to win on Thursday. 

Key Stats  


  • Pafos have won 3 of their last 4 home matches. 
  • Hajduk Split have lost 2 of their last 3 away matches. 

Second H2H Meeting 


Last week’s clash in Croatia was the first head to head match between Pafos and Hajduk Split. 

Pafos Had a Historic Run in the UCL Last Season


Pafos were nowhere close to defending the title in Cyprus last season, finishing 4th with a 25-point deficit from the champions Omonia Nicosia. 

Ricardo Sa Pinto’s side had poor results in the pre-season, their only victory coming against Cracovia 2-1, while losing against Jagiellonia 1-0 and Slovan Bratislava 3-2. The only draw was registered against Jablonec 0-0. 

They had a couple of solid chances last week in Croatia, but ultimately lost the first tie to Hajduk Split 2-0, ending the match with 56% possession and 13-10 shots. 

Hajduk Usually Struggle on the Road in Europe


Hajduk Split edged out Zilina 3-2 on aggregate to secure a place in the EL second round. They claimed a 2-0 victory in the first meeting and despite suffering a 2-1 away defeat in the second leg, were able to progress.   

The Whites were disciplined in last week’s tie against Pafos, waited for their chance and broke the deadlock after the break, Michele Sego on scoresheet, while Dario Melnjak doubled the lead in the 64th minute. 

Their results and performances in pre-season friendlies were very strong in late June, claiming back to back victories against Shkendija 4-0, LNZ Cherkasy 1-0 and Celje 1-0.
