Preview: NK Hajdina vs. Fuzinar – 3. SNL

HAJDINA, Slovenia (Interstat) — NK Hajdina will host Fuzinar on Saturday, May 23, 2026, in a 3. SNL matchup that carries momentum and revenge implications for both sides. The game is scheduled at Hajdina’s home pitch, with kickoff set for the afternoon.

The most recent head-to-head meeting strongly favors Fuzinar. On Nov. 9, 2025, Fuzinar defeated Hajdina 4-1 at home. That result capped a dominant stretch for Fuzinar, which had won eight of its previous nine league matches entering that contest. However, the teams enter Saturday’s rematch on different trajectories.

Fuzinar (9-3-4 over its last 12 league games) comes off a 3-2 loss at Korotan Prevalje on May 16. That defeat snapped a three-match unbeaten run. Before that, Fuzinar had been steamrolling opponents: a 5-0 rout at NK Šmartno Ljubljana on May 10, a 2-2 draw at Brezice on May 2, and a 4-1 win at Zavrc on April 25. The squad has scored 32 goals in its last 10 contests, an average of 3.2 per game, but its defense has been inconsistent, allowing at least two goals in four of those matches.

Hajdina’s recent form is more erratic. The home side lost 2-1 at SD Videm on May 16, its third defeat in four games. Before that, Hajdina had posted a 3-0 home win over Dobrovce on May 9 and a 1-0 victory at Rogaska on May 2. Overall, Hajdina has alternated wins and losses in its last six outings, with a record of 3-3. The team has struggled to generate consistent offense, scoring more than one goal only twice in that span.

Saturday’s match also features a statistical projection from Interstat’s game simulator, which forecasts a 2-1 victory for NK Hajdina. The simulation is notable because Hajdina has not beaten Fuzinar in their past two meetings; Fuzinar won the lone head-to-head this season 4-1, and a prior matchup in 2024 also went to Fuzinar.

For Hajdina, a win would provide a critical boost in what appears to be a tight mid-table race. Fuzinar, meanwhile, will aim to rebound from last week’s loss and reassert its offensive firepower. The match is the second of two Saturday games in Slovenia’s third-tier league.
