RUDAR, Slovenia (Interstat) — Rudar hosts Jadran Dekani on Friday, May 15, 2026, in a 2. SNL matchup that pits a team with a recent head-to-head edge against a visitor coming off a dominant victory.

The teams met Nov. 9, 2025, with Rudar earning a 2-1 road win. Interstat’s game simulator projects a repeat of that scoreline Friday.

Rudar enters on a two-match slide, including a 2-1 loss at NK Jesenice on Sunday. Before that, the home side beat Gorica 3-2 on May 2. Rudar has had difficulty finding consistency, with only one win in its last five matches (1-2-2). The team has been involved in tight contests; six of its last eight decisions were by one goal or ended in a draw. Overall, Rudar has shown defensive resilience at times, posting three clean sheets in its last 12 matches, including scoreless draws against Krka and Ilirija. Offensively, the team’s 5-0 win over Bilje on March 7 remains its most explosive output this season.

Jadran Dekani is buoyed by a commanding 5-1 win over Slovan Ljubljana on Sunday. That result snapped a three-match losing streak that saw the visitors outscored 10-2. The victory also reversed a broader trend: Jadran Dekani had lost six of its previous seven matches, with the lone point coming in a 1-1 draw at Brinje Grosuplje on April 29. Defense has been a significant concern, with the team conceding 16 goals in its last seven matches, including a 7-0 loss at Bravo U19 on April 6. However, the win over Slovan Ljubljana featured a season-high five goals, suggesting the attack can be potent.

Friday’s contest marks the second and final regular-season meeting between the sides. Rudar will look to protect its home pitch, while Jadran Dekani aims to build momentum from its lopsided win. The game is expected to feature two teams seeking stability after inconsistent stretches, with the simulator favoring Rudar by a narrow margin.
