HNK Hajduk Split vs FK Žalgiris

Hajduk Split host Zalgiris at Poljud in the second leg of their Conference League third qualifying round tie, holding a commanding 5-2 lead from the first leg in Vilnius. The winner advances to face Rakow Czestochowa or Hammarby. Both clubs are early into their domestic seasons, with Zalgiris currently fourth in Lithuania's A Lyga. Hajduk's away win — their first in Europe in nearly six years — came via a brace from Mihael Sego, plus goals from Adrion Pajaziti, Dalisson and Rokas Pukstas. Zalgiris replied through Nikola Petkovic and former Hajduk man Marko Capan. It's the first-ever meeting between these clubs, so that first leg is the only history on record. With that cushion, Hajduk should be able to manage the game at home, while Zalgiris need something special to flip the tie. Our prediction: 2-1
