BREZICE, Slovenia (Interstat) — Brezice will host Zavrc on Saturday, May 23, 2026, in a 3. SNL Slovenian third-division matchup that pits two sides trending in opposite directions.

Brezice enters the contest on the heels of a 5-1 loss at Krka U19 on Friday, but the home side has been strong in league play, winning four of its past five 3. SNL matches. That stretch includes a 1-0 victory over NK Race on May 16, a 3-1 win against NK Podvinci on May 9, and a 1-0 result over Jadran Dekani the same day. Brezice’s only blemish in that span was a 2-2 draw with Fuzinar on May 2.

Zavrc, meanwhile, is coming off a 2-1 loss at Carda Martjanci on May 16. The visitors have struggled to find consistency, going 2-1-3 in their last six league matches. Their most recent win came April 11, a 3-0 victory over Dobrovce, but they have since lost to Fuzinar (4-1 on April 25) and SD Videm (1-0 on April 19), and managed only a 1-1 draw with NK Race on May 9.

The head-to-head record favors Zavrc, which beat Brezice 1-0 on Nov. 8, 2025, in the most recent meeting between the clubs. That shutout extended Zavrc’s defensive resilience in the rivalry, but Brezice has been strong at home this season.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw, while the same service’s ELO system gives Brezice a 75.10 percent probability of winning. The discrepancy suggests the match could be tightly contested, with Brezice’s home advantage and recent form offsetting Zavrc’s historical edge.

Kickoff is scheduled for Saturday at Brezice Stadium. Both teams are mid-table in the 3. SNL standings, making this a critical opportunity to build momentum late in the season.
