From a measured statistical standpoint, Hajduk Split controls matches through possession (59% average in recent games) and creates solid volume, taking 14.67 shots per game (5.67 on target) with an expected goals (xG) output of 1.33 for and 1.13 against. At home, Hajduk averages 2.0 goals scored per match in domestic league play and scored 4 against Zalgiris. Raków Częstochowa generates high shot volume (16.0 per match, xG 1.77) but struggles with accuracy (only 3.67 on target) and defensively leaks 2.0 goals per game in domestic away fixtures.

Tactically, both teams exhibit a pronounced split between halves. First halves involving Raków in domestic competition average just 0.67 total goals, with 100% staying Under 1.5 goals (3/3), alongside 75% staying Under 1.5 in their European run (3/4). However, both teams open up significantly in the second period: 2nd half goals average 2.33 in Hajduk's domestic games and 2.33 in Raków's domestic games. Furthermore, Hajduk's physical style (17.67 fouls committed per match) against a Raków side that drew 7 second-half yellow cards across 4 cup matches creates strong indicators for cards.

The main risks surround sample size (3-4 recent competitive matches for each team in current season stats) and Raków's potential tactical shift to a defensive low-block away from home to preserve an even scoreline for the second leg. Overall, Hajduk Split's strong home presence and Raków's domestic defensive frailties lean toward a narrow home victory in a game that should build in intensity after a cautious opening half.
