Jesenice vs Dravinja - 2. SNL

All eyes turn to the home ground on May 23, 2026 as Jesenice welcome Dravinja in a 2. SNL encounter that promises tension, intrigue and no shortage of subplot. The defender has entered the third year of his scholarship agreement, and United have hoped to tie Kukonki down to a professional contract, which was initially agreed last year.

The two sides arrive with plenty to prove, and the 2. SNL contest at the home ground offers a chance to lay down a marker. It has been a solid if unspectacular run for the hosts — WW across their last five with a win rate of 57.14% — and they will want to push on from here. Dravinja are in the midst of a slump, WL over their last five and a paltry win rate of 14.29% summing up their struggles. The contrast in attacking output — 1.57 versus 1 goals per game — adds an extra layer of intrigue. Larson has not visited Victory Lane since May last year but remains firmly in championship contention, sitting eighth in the standings as the NASCAR Chase approaches in September.

The tactical battle could prove decisive. Jesenice may lean on their home advantage to dictate the tempo, but Dravinja have shown they can be dangerous when allowed to play on their own terms. As a winger or more of a central, attacking midfielder? “He’s an offensive player who knows how to mix it up across the attack.

Game-changers are scattered across both line-ups, and the contest may well be decided by which side's match-winners deliver on the day. Whoever wins the individual duel between the two sides' chief playmakers is likely to dictate the rhythm and, ultimately, the destination of the points. Liverpool have big hopes for Jeremy Jacquet having invested £60m to bring the highly regarded young central defender to Anfield this summer.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. With the sides so closely matched, a 2-2 stalemate looks the most likely way this one ends. Whatever the outcome, the 2. SNL fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. It is understood that his next move is most likely to take him abroad - and potentially to the Premier League.
