Hajduk Split continue their UEFA Conference League campaign tonight when they visit Gibraltar's Lincoln Red Imps. Kick-off is at 18:45 local time. The Croatian club are expected to secure all three points, with bookmakers offering odds of 1.35 for a Hajduk win. A draw is priced at 5.00, while a home victory stands at 8.40.

Hajduk's strong form in Europe this season has boosted confidence. They have already recorded impressive wins over Ajax and Thun, which has raised expectations among fans and pundits alike. The club's market value and European pedigree also give them a clear edge over their opponents, who are champions of Gibraltar.

This will be Hajduk's first competitive meeting with Lincoln Red Imps, but the two sides have history. Back in January 1954, Hajduk travelled to Gibraltar and played three friendlies. They beat the Gibraltar national team 9-3, lost a second match 2-3, and also faced a team from the Royal Air Force. The visit remains a fond memory for older supporters.

A win tonight would put Hajduk in a strong position to advance to the knockout stages of the Conference League, often referred to as the "European spring." With two wins from their opening two matches, another three points would all but secure progression. The match is being played at the Victoria Stadium, Gibraltar's national stadium.
