On Sunday, Hajduk and Dinamo are playing the Croatian Derby in Maksimir, kick - off 19:00. Only 48 hours after the match against Brondby IF, Hajduk has to turn to another challange and travel to Zagreb, where they are playing Hrvatski Telekom First Division round 4 match. In the meantime, Hajduk has learned their next opponent in the Europa League Playoff round.

On Saturday, head coach Joan Carrillo spoke to the media about the upcoming derby in Zagreb.

"Borja Lopez has a problem with an adductor that needs to be cured, and after the match against Borndby he was very tired and in conversation with doctors we decided to leave him in Split. Ante Erceg also has problems, and tiredness is present. Toma Basic is training with the team, but he is far from the ideal form. Ivan Pesic has some problems with his back, today he even had problems walking. Grbic and Tudor are also not traveling. All six are only waiting for our 'yes' to play. Erceg said he would play without one leg, but if he can't, he has to accept it. We'll find someone who will replace them, there will be no problem".

Then he added:

"We compete on three fronts and so we have to approach each game. We are looking forward, Brondby is for us the past. To have a good future we have to concentrate on tomorrow's match. We are going to beat Dinamo in Zagreb because that is important for us, to win those three points. We know their qualities, but also our potential. If our players are convinced we can win, then we will celebrate, and if it is not like that, then the best thing is to stay home. We are at the start we are the championship season, where both teams are having very hard rhythm of games. If we decide to leave them initiative, it will be good for Dinamo, and bad for us. We have to be brave, and the defense should stay well focused on the quality of their attack".
