Hajduk Split - Slavia Sofia, 26.07

The odds for the home win have already dropped a bit (opened at 1.40 @bet365), probably because Hajduk are (rightfully) seen as favorites.
The home side has a lot of experience in the Europa League preliminary rounds in the past few year and has reached the play-off in the past three seasons. So far Hajduk has played only friendlies. If we discount a 9-0 away win vs. a local fourth-division team, the rest still looks solid:
4-0 vs Gornik Zabrze in Split
3-0 vs Vereia St Zagora in Slovenia
1-1 vs Rudar Velenje in Slovenia
3-1 vs Zorya (UKR) in Slovenia
1-0 vs Rubin Kazan in Slovenia
4-0 vs Rostov (RUS) in Slovenia
The most notable absences compared to last year's campaign will be attacker F. Ohandza, midfielder A. Erceg and goalkeeper Letica, who were all sold. On the other hand, Mijo Caktas has returned to the club after a two-year spell in Russia.
Slavia eliminated the Finnish side Ilves (two wins 1-0 and 2-1) in order to get here. That was the first time Slavia eliminates an opponent in Europe since 1996 when they overcame the (now defunct) Lithuanian team Inkaras. Slavia also played one game in the Bulgarian league - a 1-1 home draw vs. Beroe St. Zagora. The team is known for counting strictly on local players and giving chance to youngsters that could ideally be sold abroad on first offer. Slavia finished 9th in the Bulgaria league last year but qualified to Europe by winning the national cup vs Levski (0-0 and penalties). I wouldn't be surprised if against Hajduk they adopt the same tactics as in the final vs Levski - ten men in defense and waiting for counters.
This, combined with the fact that the game will be Hajduk's first official of the season make me expect a low-scoring affair. Home win is an option, but not at the current prices (livebetting should work better). Bettingwise, Under @1.97 is certainly tempting. For value-seekers, bet365 also offers the very interesting option Home win&Under 2.5 @3.2 (until recently at 3.75). CS 2-0 (@5.50) and 3-0 (@7.50, as possible cover) are also an option. GL!

Don't overestimate Hajduk here because Slavia have chance here for at leas a draw. Preparation games mean nothing as teams played relaxed an wit mixed players. Hajduk main disadvantage here is new defensive line with new keeper and inexperienced defenders. Slavia may have chance on counters because Hajduk players is not known for best transition from attack to defense and most of the time they simply stay and watch defenders struggle with opponent

I have read both Dex contributions - on Hajduk and Dinamo games (guy is from Zagreb).
Cinclusion is Like this: do not overestimate Hajduk (WHO will probbably pass with two wins) and Dinamo will pass Isrealy team, although he gave no reason why it would be like he wrote..
Truth is that Dinamo is enigma at The start of competition (great changes in team - which was even last year The worst in last 10-15 Years).
Isrealy team will surrely be great task for Dinamo tonight and in that Game is everything possibile.
Even away win wouldnt be surprise here..
WHO is great favourite in this two games - just one team and that is Hajduk..
All in all Hajduk clear home win; averything is possibile x2 @ 1,9 in my local seems great

It's seems you not understand at all what I wrote in both threads. I not wrote that Dinamo will crush Hapoel but just that CL is not imperative for them so where you find that Dinamo is the worst team if yours not win the championship in this century? I wrote that Dinamo have fine side players and Hapoel is struggle when they must defend.
Hajduk is known team here in Croatia and only team who even not congratulate national team on second place and after media pressing they announce something that looks like political decret and not in one word in that pamphlet was referring to vice champion of the world. Hajduk is not favorite even with last team in HNL and they have bunch of new players who play together just three last games and big disadvantage for them is new keeper who is just signed and he is not on the right frequency with his defense yet.
It's well known fact that Hajduk midfielders don't want to play defensive tasks

I have wrote that Dinamo of last year is worst Dinamo in last 10 Years (Comparasion of Dinamos squads).
"When Hapoel got to defend" - why do they have to defend in this Game against squad Like Dinamo (two same quality teams faceing each other).
About Hajduk defending capabilities - Hajduks defens is at least same quality as other lines (which are very good especially Middle line with very good Def middfilders Like Barry and Radosevic). When you add defenders Like Lopes, Nizic as central defenders conclusion is obvoius - hajduk have one of The best defensive lines for a while..
Offense is even better - Gyurco, Caktas and new aquisition in attack Ivanovski are more then enough to advance in Next round of EL qualies.

Guys, guys, let's keep it objective here and remain focused on the match between Hajduk and Slavia.
Dex, I don't think I'm overestimating Hajduk, I just know Slavia They count mainly on youngsters and do not have any foreign players. And my main bet on the match is Under, which covers everything from 2-0 to 0-2.
As mentioned above, I expect the main factors influencing the final outcome to be Hajduk's (lack of) stamina and Slavia's defensive approach. Let's see how that works out

This game is going to be fishy. Slavia boss Venci Stefanov is one of the big mobsters and fixers in Bulgarian football. He knows that they have no chance against Hajduk. I have heard rumours that Slavia will bet against themselves. That is Slavia s main reason to play in Uefa europa league. I will bet -2 ah @2.56 pinnacle. GL

But I hope Slavia will try to get a result in Split... They can make money from fixing matches but they can also make money from selling players and it helps when your players get to play more rounds in Europa League and get noticed by other teams.
