Hajduk Split will play host to HB Tórshavn at Stadion Poljud in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday. Both teams have been competing in the qualifying stages of the competition since its inception in 2020-21.
Hajduk Split finished third in the 2023–24 Croatian Football League to earn a fourth qualification for the UEFA Conference League. Last season, they made it to the third qualifying round before crashing out against Greek side PAOK. The hosts are eying a spot in the group stage.
Bili will head into the clash on the back of two straight wins against Fenerbahce 1-0 and Rukh Vynnyky 3-1. Hajduk have wrapped up their preseason after two wins, one draw and one defeat in friendly matches. They will be turning their focus to the Conference League ahead of their domestic new season set for August 8.
HB Tórshavn placed third in the 2023 Faroe Islands Premier League to book their place in the Conference League second qualifying round. Their performances in the previous two editions were below par, as they failed to progress beyond the first qualifying round. However, they will likely draw inspiration from their 2020-21 campaign where they reached the third round.
Torshavn opened their new domestic season in March with a 3-2 home win over NSI before their first defeat of the season against Víkingur. Thereafter, the visitors maintained a winning streak of 15 games in all competitions. That impressive run ended when they suffered back-to-back losses in their last two games.
