The long winter break in the Youth Eon NextGen League will conclude today with the opening matches of the 19th round. The first match of the year in the under-19 category will kick off at 13:30, at the Športni Park in Radomlje, where the young millers will host Ilirija. Ilirija is the current national champion, but things have not gone entirely according to plan for them this season. In the spring, Ljubljana’s team will face a battle to remain among the best. Radomlje, meanwhile, is in eighth place. Regarding the head-to-head encounters between Radomlje and Ilirija, this will be the eleventh league match between the two clubs. Interestingly, Radomlje has only celebrated victory once so far, while Ilirija has six wins.
At 14:00, Mura and Bravo will begin their match. The Prekmurje team is currently at the top of the standings, but they will play in the spring under the guidance of a new coach. Matjaž Kek Jr. will become an assistant to Anton Žlogar with the senior team, and the youth team will be taken over by Darjan Slavic. Bravo will continue to play under the guidance of Tomaž Petrovič; Ljubljana’s team is currently in 11th place after the initial part of the season.
The remaining matches of the opening round this year will take place on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, Gorica will face Rudar, Maribor will play against Celje, and Krka will play against Domžale.
