Everton take on the visitors Hajduk Split at “Goodison Park” in the first-leg game of the Qualification final round of the UEFA Europa League. The match will be played in Liverpool on Thursday, August 17th.
After a previous season’s ending Everton were beaten not a single time. “The Toffees” got five victories and two draws in seven encounters including friendly clashes. In the UEFA Europa League Ronald Koeman’s side knocked out Slovak Ruzomberok 1:0, 1:0 while in the English Premier League the team broke Stoke City in the opening round with the same 1:0 scoreline. “The Toffees” showed incredible consistency at the start of the season. Last season Everton proved themselves as a home club and they are likely to continue to gain points regularly at the home field in this campaign as well.

Hajduk Split have taken only bronze medals in last season’s Croatian 1. HNL, as a result, they started their pace in the Eurocups in early July. In the UEFA Europa League the side from Split knocked out Levski 1:0, 2:1 and Brondby 0:0, 2:0 which are quite strong and inconvenient teams. The Croatians occupy the second place in domestic elite division with 10 points earned and 9-7 goal difference after five matchdays. This season Hajduk Split lost only one out of nine played games.
Everton and Hajduk Split have never met before. Taking into account, the Brits’ sustainability in results in this season when all three clashes were won with 1:0 scoreline, I believe that the forthcoming battle will be a low-scoring one. The visitors will focus on defense hoping for a counter-attack while the hosting side will wait for its chance.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
