Hajduk Split captain Marko Livaja to miss Adriatic Derby

Hajduk Split faces significant personnel challenges ahead of the upcoming Adriatic Derby against Rijeka at Rujevica. Hajduk coach Gonzalo Garcia confirmed that captain Marko Livaja will not travel to Rijeka due to illness. Additionally, players Ivusić and Brajković are unavailable, with Brajković sidelined by injury.

Despite these absences, Hajduk enters the match with high confidence following an eleven-game unbeaten streak. Analysts note that Michele Šego is in excellent form, having already scored double digits this season. While Rijeka is noted for its strong midfield and aggressive play, former player Saša Peršon suggests the match lacks a clear favorite, predicting an uncertain contest with potential for multiple goals.
