Hajduk Split

The 2-1 victory over Dinamo Zagreb gives Hajduk Split a strong reason to retain the same defensive setup against Ajax. Šimun Hrgović, Raci, Dario Marešić and Mathieu Acapandié all started on Saturday, while Abdoulie Sanyang scored the winning goal. Gonzalo García is therefore expected to stay close to the team that won the domestic meeting.

There are still two genuine decisions further forward. Khalil Fayad started against Dinamo and is preferred for the midfield position, but Adrion Pajaziti remains an alternative after not featuring at the weekend. Michele Šego is again the expected striker, although Marko Livaja, who was among the substitutes against Dinamo, is another option. Hajduk begin their Conference League league-phase campaign at Poljud after progressing through eight qualifying matches. The result against Dinamo provides the immediate backdrop to Thursday's European opener.

Ajax

Several players remain absent for Ajax's trip to Hajduk Split, although Aaron Bouwman's return gives Míchel Sánchez another option in central defence. Bouwman appeared as a substitute against NEC on Saturday and has travelled to Croatia. Thilo Kehrer, who started the 1-1 draw, remains the expected choice, with Bouwman an alternative. There is also an open decision between Davy Klaassen and Jorthy Mokio in midfield; Mokio started the last league match.

Ajax have named a 22-man travelling squad. Anton Gaaei, Caio Henrique, Daley Blind, Steven Berghuis, Kasper Dolberg and Simon Adingra are not among those travelling. The defence is consequently expected to remain close to the group used against NEC. Tolu Arokodare scored Ajax's early goal in that draw and is again expected to lead the attack, with Oscar Gloukh and Viktor Tsygankov also involved further forward.
