In an interesting match-up between two underdogs, Croatia’s Hajduk Split will take on Cypriot club Pafos in the second qualifying round of the 2026-27 UEFA Europa League (UEL). This first-leg fixture on Thursday at Stadion Poljud between the Whites and the Cypriots is likely to be a low-scoring affair, and our match prediction favours less than 2.5 goals.
The winner of this two-legged tie will advance to the Main Path third qualifying round to face Red Bull Salzburg, while the loser will be transferred to the Conference League play-off round.
Hajduk lost 2-1 away at Zilina in the second leg of the previous round of qualification, but a 2-0 win in the first leg was enough to achieve progress. That victory was preceded by three consecutive wins in friendlies, so the Croats will hope to get back to winning ways here. Their hopes get a boost from a run of three wins in as many home games in Europe.
Pafos are yet to play a competitive game this season and were beaten in their last two friendlies. Those results made it just one win in their four preparatory games in the off-season (D1, L2), as the Cypriots look to improve on their recent away form in Europe. Pafos have failed to win their last four away games in Europe (D2, L2).

Our Hajduk Split vs Pafos FC Prediction
Hajduk are back in the Europa League for the first time since 2020-21, while their last foray into the group stages of this competition was back in 2010-11. Pafos have made a name for themselves in last season’s UEFA Champions League, although they have failed to score in their four away matches in that competition, which underlined their struggles in Europe’s top tier.
The low-scoring pattern has been a trend for both teams, and that could continue in this fixture, so our Hajduk Split vs Pafos FC prediction is less than 2.5 goals.
