- Competition: Conference League qualification
- Date: Wednesday, 23rd July 2025
- Kickoff: 16:30 UK / 17:30 CEST
- Venue: Neftci Arena (Baku)
Zira last season failed to compete with Qarabag, but they ended second on the table and secured the Conference League qualifications. Rashad Sadyqov's team never had much success in the European competitions, but last season they knocked out Dunajska Streda and Osijek in the Conference League qualifications, so Zira surely hopes to do the same with Hajduk.
Hajduk are the Croatian giant, but their last league title came in 2005. The Dalmatian club was close last season, but they fell two points short of Rijeka. This summer, Hajduk played four matches. They won the first three preseason games, but in the last, Gonzalo Garcia's team lost 2-1 against LASK. Like always, Hajduk's dreams remain of the Croatian title, Garcia's team hopes for a good performance in the Conference League, too. However, Hajduk scored only four goals in four preseason matches, and that is something they have to improve.
Zira vs Hajduk Split pick: Under 2.5 goals
Zira was the second-best defensive team in Azerbaijan football, with 27 allowed goals in 36 matches. On the other hand, Hajduk Split scored only four goals in four preseason matches. We shouldn't expect more than two goals in the upcoming tie in Baku.
Zira team news
Zira didn't change their squad too much this summer. Interestingly, all new signings came from the Azerbaijan clubs. The most important arrival is probably Brahim Konate, who scored eight goals for Shamakhi last season. The other signings are Rovlan Muradov (Sumgayit), Vincent Thill (Sabah), and Egor Bogomolskiy (Neftchi).

Hajduk Split team news
Hajduk sold Luka Vuskosic and Dominik Prpic this summer, but they made a few interesting signings. The biggest addition is goalkeeper Ivica Ivusic, who came from Pafos. Hajduk also signed Fran Karacic (who came from Lokomotiva Zagreb) and Adrion Pajaziti (Fulham U21). There are rumors that the club from Split is also interested in Ante Rebic, Munir El Haddadi, and Dario Maresic, but it is unlikely that players will come before the matchup against Zira.
