PFC Oleksandria vs HNK Hajduk Split UEFA Europa League Qualifiers Match Preview And Prediction - July 28, 2016

The new season has just started in Ukraine. Oleksandria have not had a good start in this year’s Premier League. In their 1st game they got thumped 5-1 away at Dynamo Kiev. They enter the Europa League qualifiers at this 3rd round stage so are yet to play. However, they have only played 2 friendlies in pre-season. Both games saw them as 1-0 victors and a goal away at Kiev shows they can find the net.

Hajduk Split on the other hand have had an undefeated pre-season. They have played 6 games since June 15th, winning 3 and drawing 3. They have also started their Croatian 1. HNL campaign, playing 1 and winning 2-0 away to Cibalia.

Oleksandria finished 6th last season. This gave them the opportunity to qualify for Europe. They join the qualifiers at this stage and face tough opposition in Hajduk Split. Last season’s top scorer Vitaly Ponomar is fit and ready for this game. He scored only 7 goals in 25 appearances last season, so hardly prolific by any means.

Hajduk Split finished 3rd last season, a huge 24 points behind the ever dominant Dinamo Zagreb. Head coach Marjan Pusnik has said that his side look to improve the style of play this season. He wants Split to be more aggressive when going forward. This pre-season shows that they have been just that, as well as solid at the back too.

Oleksandria have had no experience of the Europa League this season. They have scored 3 goals in 3 games, conceding 5 in their last game but keeping clean sheets in the previous 2 games. Hajduk have had to qualify from the previous round. Hajduk Split have conceded only 4 goals in 7 games this season. They have scored 9 goals in those 7 matches – scoring 2+ goals in last 3 consecutive games.

The prediction we are going for in this is a 2-1 Hajduk Split win at 11/1 with bet365. We also fancy another betting tip which is Hajduk Split Double Chance at 4/6 with bet365.
