Hajduk Split take on the visitors Everton at “Stadion Poljud” in the second-leg game of the Qualification final round of the UEFA Europa League. The match will be played in Split on Thursday, August 24th. The first-leg clash ended with 2:0 victory of the Brits.
Hajduk Split opened a new season very early – on the 13th of July and, as a result, they have played already 11 encounters. In the Croatian 1. HNL the side sits on the second place in the standings with 13 points earned and 13-7 goal difference after six rounds behind. In the UEFA Europa League the Croatians have come through the long pace, having knocked out Levski 1:0, 2:1 and Brondby 0:0, 2:0 which belonged to the grands in their countries. However, Hajduk Split were not strong enough to beat solid Everton in England, thus, they got 0:2 defeat with theoretical chances for promotion to the Eurocup main stage. Still, it should be mentioned that the Croatians were broken not a single time in face of their supporters in 2017, having gained eight triumphs and three draws in 11 matches.

Everton conducted five clashes in this season resulting in four wins and a draw. Last Monday “The Toffees” recorded 1:1 draw against Manchester City on the road in the English Premier League. In Europe Ronald Koeman’s team has knocked out the Slovak Ruzomberok 1:0, 1:0 and earned 2:0 victory over the Croatians in the first-leg game. Besides, the goal conceded by Everton in their head-to-head against “The Citizens” became the first one in this season.
Despite the fact that the upcoming battle will be played at the pitch of Hajduk Split, the Brits have much higher football class comparing to the Croatians, meaning that the visitors at least should not break their unbeaten run in the forthcoming fight and have easily qualify to the Group stage of the UEFA Europa League.
Prediction for the match: Everton to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
