Hajduk Split vs Villarreal –  Villarreal are having a great start to the new season. They have a spotless record in La Liga, winning both of their games and accruing a 5-0 goal differential.

On the road on Sunday night, El Submarino Amarillo stunned Atletico Madrid 0-2 thanks to strikes from Yeremi Pino and Gerard Moreno.

In the previous week’s 4-2 triumph over Hajduk Split in the first leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League playoffs on Spanish soil, Moreno also scored (at Estadi Ciudad de Valencia).

Thus, Villarreal will travel with a two-goal lead to the rematch in Croatia, where they will once again be overwhelming favorites to win.

The team led by Unai Emery advanced to the UEFA Champions League semifinal last year, and this year they appear keen to return to the top four of the Spanish premier division.

In their own nation, Hajduk Split continues to be overshadowed by Dinamo Zagreb, a fierce rival. Even though the squad has improved over the last couple of seasons thanks to some wise purchases, we must admit that Hajduk Split is currently not on the same level as Dinamo Zagreb.

This means that we shouldn’t anticipate them to accomplish anything in Europe. Fair enough, they were in no way given a favorable playoff draw in the Conference League, but it is what it is.

At the start of the new domestic league season, Hajduk Split has played four games with three victories and one defeat. But that lone loss came against Dinamo Zagreb, and it was a tough one (4-1).

Hajduk Split vs Villarreal – Betting Analysis

At this point, it is quite difficult to compare these two squads. We will take Villarreal to win at the 1.55 odds because they are the clear favorites in the reverse tie as well.

Given that the match last week in Spain was so competitive, the Over 2.5 goals FT at 1.75 odds seems like a stronger bet.

This will be Hajduk Split and Villarreal’s second head-to-head encounter. As was already mentioned, Villarreal triumphed 4-2 at home in the first leg, which was played seven days ago.
