Žilina host HNK Hajduk Split in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League first qualifying round tie, with the aggregate score from the first leg at Stadion Poljud still unknown at time of writing. This second leg represents a crucial European opportunity for both clubs as they bid to progress through qualifying.
Hajduk Split arrive as the stronger side on recent form. Their pre-season was impressive — three wins from three friendlies without conceding — and their Croatian HNL campaign showed genuine attacking quality, including back-to-back 6-0 and 6-3 victories. Žilina's preparation has been patchier, with two draws and a loss in friendlies, and they ended their Slovak Super Liga season poorly, losing three of their final four league matches.
No league statistics are available for either side in the current season, so this analysis leans on recent form and qualitative context. Hajduk Split's pedigree as a Croatian top-flight club and their sharper pre-season form give them the edge, even away from home. Žilina will benefit from home advantage and the crowd, but their inconsistency is a concern.
With the aggregate context unknown, Hajduk Split are favoured to advance overall. In this second leg specifically, expect a competitive, tight affair — Žilina will push forward if chasing the tie, which could open space for Hajduk on the counter. A narrow Hajduk Split win or a draw feels most likely.

Žilina's recent form is mixed and offers limited confidence heading into this European tie. Their pre-season friendlies produced two draws and a loss to Dynamo Kyiv, suggesting they are not yet at peak sharpness. The end of their Super Liga campaign was equally concerning — three defeats in the final four league matches, including losses to Podbrezová and Spartak Trnava. Bright spots include a 5-1 thrashing of Podbrezová in April and a 3-1 cup win over FK Košice. No current-season statistics are available, so form from friendlies and late-season results are the primary guide. Home advantage will be vital.

HNK Hajduk Split arrive in noticeably better shape than their opponents. Three consecutive pre-season wins — including a 4-0 demolition of Shkendija — suggest a well-drilled, confident squad heading into European competition. Their HNL season showed genuine firepower, with two 6-goal performances against Vukovar highlighting their attacking threat. They did struggle against Dinamo Zagreb, losing both meetings, but that is the benchmark of Croatian football. Hajduk's defensive record was inconsistent domestically, but their pre-season clean sheets indicate improvement. No current-season statistics are available, but the trajectory is clearly positive for the Croatian side.
Žilina vs HNK Hajduk Split - Match Analysis
Hajduk Split's pre-season form stands out clearly — three wins from three friendlies, scoring six goals without conceding. Their Croatian HNL campaign also demonstrated serious attacking quality. By contrast, Žilina ended their Slovak Super Liga season with three losses in four games and looked unconvincing in pre-season. The Croatian top flight is generally a stronger competition than the Slovak Super Liga, which adds further weight to Hajduk's credentials as the more dangerous side in this tie.
Draw No Bet backing Hajduk Split offers the best value — you back the stronger side while protecting against a draw result. Under 2.5 Goals is another credible option; European qualifying second legs are often tight and tactical, particularly when the aggregate is close. Both Teams to Score is less appealing given Žilina's recent struggles in front of goal. The Double Chance market covering Hajduk Split win or draw also provides solid coverage at a reasonable implied probability.
The aggregate score from the first leg at Stadion Poljud on July 9th is the decisive factor shaping both teams' tactics here. If Hajduk lead on aggregate, they can afford to sit deeper and absorb pressure, making Žilina chase the game and potentially leaving space on the counter. If Žilina are ahead, Hajduk must attack, which suits their more potent forward line. Either scenario likely produces an open, competitive match with genuine stakes for both clubs.
