PAOK host Hajduk Split at the Stadio Toumbas on Thursday for the second leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League third qualifying round with the tie finely poised at 0-0.

Having qualified for the maiden edition of the competition in 2021, PAOK are looking to make their second appearance in the Conference League this season.

In the last round of the qualifiers, the Greek outfit overcame Beitar Jerusalem 4-1 on aggregate, with the victory coming in the second leg following a 0-0 draw at home.

On the other hand, Hajduk Split haven't qualified for a major tournament since 2010, when the Croatian outfit reached the group stages of the UEFA Europa League. Since then, they have experienced a series of heartbreaks in the European qualifiers.

The Whites will be looking to carry their league form into the decider as they have secured three wins from their opening three games. Dinamo Zagreb (2-1), Rijeka (1-0) and Slaven Belupo (3-0) have all fallen to Split, who are the only team with a 100% win record in the SuperSport HNL right now.
