MARIBOR, Slovenia (Interstat) — A surging NK Zeleznicar Maribor side will look to extend its unbeaten run when it visits Brinje Grosup U19 in a 1. Mladinska Liga youth football match on Monday, April 13, 2026.

The visitors enter with significant momentum, having not lost in their last seven league contests. Their most recent result was a dramatic 3-3 draw with Ilir Ljubljana U19 on April 6, showcasing their resilience. Prior to that, Zeleznicar Maribor strung together five consecutive victories, including a 1-0 win at Krka U19 and a 4-1 rout of Brezice.

In stark contrast, Brinje Grosup U19 has experienced inconsistent form. The team is coming off a 2-1 home victory over Ilirija on March 18, which snapped a two-game winless streak. Their season has been marked by fluctuations, struggling against top-half opponents while securing results against teams lower in the table.

The recent head-to-head history heavily favors the visitors. In their last meeting on Oct. 3, 2025, Zeleznicar Maribor delivered a commanding 3-0 victory at home over Brinje Grosup.

Statistical analysis underscores Zeleznicar Maribor’s current advantage. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 away victory, aligning with the team’s potent attack and Brinje Grosup’s defensive vulnerabilities, which include a 5-1 loss to Celje U19 and a 4-0 defeat to Ilir Ljubljana U19 this season.

Following Monday’s clash, Zeleznicar Maribor will continue its campaign at home against NK Rudar Velenje U19 on April 19. Brinje Grosup U19, seeking to improve its league standing, will next host NK Aluminij U19 on April 24.

Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. local time at Brinje Grosup’s home ground. The match will be a test of whether the hosts can disrupt Zeleznicar Maribor’s rhythm or if the visitors’ form will prove too formidable on the road.
