HNK Hajduk Split continue their season with a key home match against second-placed NK Varazdin on Sunday at Stadion Poljud. The Round 10 HNL fixture kicks off at 3 PM local time, with Hajduk entering it with a one-point lead at the top of the table, having collected 19 points from nine matches, a record of six wins, one draw, and two losses.
Abdoulie Sanyang and Marin Šotiček were the scorers in that match. That marks a second consecutive victory for the Whites, following a league win over Dinamo Zagreb by the same scoreline, where Sanyang also found the net. The team's current form across all competitions is WLWWW in their last five, with 18 goals scored and 9 conceded in the league. Michele Šego is currently the club's top scorer with four goals in nine appearances.
Hajduk are first with 19 points, while Varazdin follow with 18. A win on Sunday would significantly extend the host's advantage in the title race. The 2-1 away defeat to Varazdin at the start of the season, back in August, is certainly extra motivation for revenge at Poljud. A look at the full fixtures schedule shows this is the first in a run of home games for Hajduk.
Against Ajax, the starters were Silić, Acapandié, Hadžikadunić, Marešić, Hrgović, del Moral, Fayad, Sanyang, Dalisson, Šotiček, and Šego. Abdoulie Sanyang and Marin Šotiček were the scorers in that match, and both are key to the attacking play. Varazdin arrive with a 1-0 win over Lokomotiva in their last league outing, with players like Bockaj, Mamic, and Posavec standing out in their lineup.
A win in this direct top-of-the-table clash would be a massive step towards achieving the season's objectives. Hajduk's next step is an away trip to face Istra 1961 in a week's time.
