Hajduk Split vs Ajax Prediction & Betting tips
The opening matchday of the 2026/27 UEFA Conference League regular season features a high-stakes encounter as HNK Hajduk Split hosts AFC Ajax at the Stadion Poljud.
Hajduk Split:
The Croatian hosts come into this match flying high after a massive 2-1 derby win over arch-rivals Dinamo Zagreb, keeping them at the top of the Prva HNL standings. This marks their debut appearance in the Conference League group/league phase. They qualified after a grueling playoff victory against Raków Częstochowa. Hajduk is notoriously tough at home, averaging 2.2 goals per game in front of their fervent supporters. The hosts will be missing Brajkovic, Pajaziti, and Ivusic due to injury. In their absence, Michele Šego (who has 4 goals this season) is expected to play a crucial role leading the frontline alongside Abdoulie Sanyang.
Hajduk Split (4-2-3-1): Silić — Acapandie, Maresic, Raçi, Melnjak — Alberto Del Moral, Šutalo — Abdoulie Sanyang, Dalisson, Michele Šego – Marko Livaja.
Ajax:
The Dutch giants easily cruised through their playoff round by demolishing Swiss side Sion 9-5 on aggregate. While they were held to a 1-1 draw by NEC Nijmegen in their last domestic Eredivisie outing, their European form has been clinical. Spearheaded by midfielders Davy Klaassen and Oscar Gloukh, Ajax is averaging over 3 goals per game across all competitions this season. The visitors travel to Split with a depleted squad. Key figures like Steven Berghuis, Daley Blind, Caio Henrique, and Kasper Dolberg are completely sidelined. Striker Toru Arokodare is expected to start up front, while Simon Adingra and Ibrahim Ouazane are heavily pushing to break into the starting XI.
Ajax (4-3-3): Pasveer — Devyne Rensch, Kaplan, Baas, Wijndal — Davy Klaassen, Kenneth Taylor, Oscar Gloukh — Simon Adingra, Toru Arokodare, Ibrahim Ouazane.
