Pafos vs Hajduk Split: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Pafos won the national championship for the first time in 2025. This allowed them to make their debut in the Champions League, where the players reached the main round of the tournament. However, domestically, they slipped to fourth place. Still, by defeating Apollon 2-0 in the final, they claimed the cup.
The team from Split, like all others in the country, remains in the shadow of the local giant, Dinamo Zagreb. So, last season, finishing second in the domestic league was practically the maximum result. That sent them again to the Europa League, where they overcame Zilina in the previous round: 2-0 at home, 1-2 away.
In Croatia, the visitors held out for just over an hour. But then the hosts managed to score twice in less than ten minutes.
