Context last updated 21 Oct 2026, 09:18 · Europe/Bucharest

Hajduk arrive at Thun after beating Dinamo Zagreb and Ajax, while Thun have won once in six and are without suspended midfielder Patrik Kristal.

The likely outcome is an away win, and the 2.38 on Hajduk is a worthwhile price; the 2.40 on at least one side not to score is the other worthwhile price. Over 2.5 goals at 1.60 and at least one first-half goal at 1.25 are not worth taking.

Context

Thun finished the 1-0 defeat at Twente with ten men after Kristal's dismissal, a decision that drew heavy criticism in Switzerland, including from former top referee Urs Meier, who called it fundamentally wrong. The ban now removes him from a home fixture where Thun will expect far more of the ball than they had in Enschede. It is a one-match suspension rather than a structural loss, so its effect is bounded, and the larger selection question is how Thun cover the whole midfield unit rather than how they replace one player.
- Patrik Kristal is suspended for the Conference League match against Hajduk Split.
- Kristal was sent off in Thun's 1-0 defeat at Twente on 15 October, and Thun finished that game with ten men.

Saiz needs knee surgery and the four-to-five-month window runs beyond the league phase, so Thun must rebuild the position from within their squad rather than from the market. The timing is awkward because it lands in the same week as a suspension in the same unit, leaving the hosts with fewer midfield options against a Hajduk side that has just beaten Dinamo and Ajax. The four-to-five-month figure is an estimate rather than a fixed return date, so the fixture-relevant question is who starts on Thursday, not when Saiz is back.
- Fabio Saiz has a knee injury that requires surgery and an expected absence of four to five months.
- Saiz is unavailable for the Hajduk fixture, and Thun carry several other injury doubts into the game.

The appointment brings a complete English officiating team to Thun, including a dedicated video assistant referee and an assistant VAR, rather than a mixed-nationality crew. That matters at the margins for a home side whose matchday-one tie at Twente turned on a video review that removed Kristal and was contested in Switzerland for days afterwards. An appointment is a staffing fact and does not describe how a match will be handled, so it belongs in the background rather than in any expectation about the result.
- Jarred Gillett is the referee for Thun against Hajduk Split.
- Neil Davies and Nick Greenhalgh are the assistant referees, Peter Bankes is the video assistant referee, James Bell the assistant VAR and Farai Hallam the fourth official.

García, Hajduk's Spanish head coach, has produced the two results that define their autumn in the space of five days: the 2-1 derby win over Dinamo that lifted Split above their rivals, and the 2-1 win over Ajax in this competition. That run is why the away night in Thun is being read as a chance to consolidate a good start rather than a chore between league games. The domestic picture is less clean, with the derby decided by determination in heavy rain while the side still showed obvious problems in open play, so the trip is a genuine test of whether the structure holds away from Poljud.
- Hajduk beat Dinamo Zagreb 2-1 at Poljud on 10 October in the first Eternal Derby of the season.
- It was Gonzalo García's first win over Dinamo as Hajduk coach and took his side above them at the top of the HNL.
