Preview: Brinje Grosuplje Hosts Gorica in Slovenian 2. SNL Clash

GROSUPLJE, Slovenia (Interstat) — A pivotal matchup in Slovenia’s second-tier 2. SNL unfolds Friday as Brinje Grosuplje hosts Gorica, with both sides looking to solidify their standing in the league table.

The contest, scheduled for April 10, 2026, is a rematch of a thrilling 2-2 draw in late September. That result will give both teams confidence, but recent form suggests diverging trajectories.

Brinje Grosuplje enters the fixture in stronger shape. The home side is unbeaten in its last four outings (2-2-0), including a key 2-1 victory over Slovan Ljubljana and a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Dravinja last Saturday. Their attack has shown potency, scoring multiple goals in three of those four matches.

Conversely, Gorica is mired in a slump, winless in five consecutive league matches (0-2-3). Its defense has been a particular concern, conceding three goals in each of its last two defeats, including a 3-2 home loss to Beltinci on April 3. The club’s last victory came on March 14.

The statistical projection service Interstat forecasts a 2-1 victory for Brinje Grosuplje, aligning with the teams’ current momentum. A home win would bolster Brinje Grosuplje’s position, while Gorica is desperate for points to reverse its slide.

Following this fixture, Brinje Grosuplje will travel to face NK Posavje Krško on April 18. Gorica will host Triglav the same day.

Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. local time at Brinje Grosuplje’s home ground.
