Today, Hajduk Split is set to face Slaven Belupo in round 21 of the SuperSport HNL at Poljud Stadium, starting at 17:15. Hajduk's lineup will see Marko Livaja back in action from the first minute, a significant comeback since his injury sustained on September 27 against Lokomotiva. Livaja, known as the team's captain, had become a prominent player before his absence.

In the meantime, Hajduk will have to contend with the absence of their leading scorer Michele Šego, who is sidelined with ten goals this season, ranking second in the Croatian league. This situation has led to Livaja’s return, which is timely and crucial, especially in the context of maintaining team performance. Furthermore, Hajduk has recently completed a significant transfer, selling defender Branimir Mlačić to Udinese for nearly five million euros, further reshaping their defensive lineup.

With the team looking for a strong performance against Slaven Belupo, the return of both Livaja and Pukštas is pivotal. This match marks a critical moment for Hajduk as they aim to capitalize on their home advantage and continue pushing up the league table while adapting to the recent changes in their squad. The dynamics of player replacements and recovery from injuries will play a significant role in influencing the outcome of today's match.
