Jesenice vs Nafta - 2. SNL

A fascinating 2. SNL chapter awaits on April 4, 2026 when Jesenice take on Nafta at the home ground — two sides with plenty to play for and everything to prove. The left-back was taken off in the final minutes against Everton with cramp, and was not risked for the Champions League clash vs Sabah on Thursday.

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. Jesenice have held their own of late, WW in their last five reflecting a steady win rate of 57.14%. Nafta's away form is hard to read, but they will arrive with the belief that they can trouble their hosts.

How the two sides approach the contest strategically will be key. Jesenice will want to control proceedings in front of their own supporters, while Nafta will back themselves to cause problems on the break. Tottenham have changed their approach and are spending big on players who already know the Premier League.

In fixtures as finely poised as this one, it often comes down to who holds their nerve in the big moments — and both camps have players who relish that responsibility. How each side deals with the other's danger men — and who takes their chances when they come — will be central to the outcome. Iraola is on record as an admirer of the former Borussia Dortmund coach who honed his ideas in the Red Bull school where looking forward and pressing high up the pitch are viewed as non-negotiables.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. Expect a tight, competitive affair that could easily end all square at 2-2. Whatever the outcome, the 2. SNL fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters says a verdict on the alleged charges against Manchester City "has taken longer than expected".
