RAVNE NA KOROŠKEM, Slovenia (Interstat) — Ilir Ljubljana U19 visits NK Fužinar Ravne U19 on Monday in a 1. Mladinska Liga matchup, with the visitors entering as slight favorites.

The game is scheduled for May 18, 2026. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 victory for Ilir Ljubljana.

Ilir Ljubljana (7-2-1 in its last 10 league matches) carries momentum into the contest. The visitors defeated Celje U19 1-0 on May 11, their most recent result. That shutout followed a 4-1 win at Radomlje on May 4. Ilir Ljubljana has been strong defensively, posting clean sheets in four of its last six matches, including a 0-0 draw with Bravo U19 on April 27.

However, the team has shown vulnerability on the road, dropping a 3-2 decision at NK Aluminij U19 on April 18 and playing to a 3-3 draw at NK Zeleznicar Maribor on April 6.

NK Fužinar Ravne U19 (4-1-5 in its last 10) enters off a 2-1 victory at Krka U19 on May 9. That win snapped a three-match losing streak. The home side has been inconsistent, however. Fužinar Ravne suffered a 4-0 loss at Jadran Dekani on April 26 and a 4-1 defeat to Celje U19 on April 13.

At home, Fužinar Ravne has shown resilience. The team earned a 2-1 win over Radomlje on April 4 and a 0-0 draw with Mura U19 on March 8. But heavy defeats — including a 5-0 loss to Bravo U19 on March 18 and a 4-0 loss to NK Aluminij U19 on March 13 — underscore defensive lapses.

The most recent head-to-head meeting, on Nov. 8, 2025, ended in a 1-1 draw.

Ilir Ljubljana’s next match is Friday, May 22, at home against Jadran Dekani. NK Fužinar Ravne U19 travels to Brinje Grosup U19 on Saturday, May 23.

Kickoff is Monday at Fužinar Stadium.
