Bilje vs Jadran Dekani Prediction & Betting Tips (6 October)

ND Bilje host Jadran Dekani in a Round 9 clash of the Slovenian 2. SNL 2026/27 season, now rescheduled to Tuesday, 6 October 2026 at 16:00 CET at Stadion V Dolinci after two Bilje players were called up to the Slovenia U19 national team, forcing the postponement of the original Sunday, 4 October fixture. The two sides are separated by just one place in the table, with Bilje sitting 9th and Jadran Dekani 10th, making this a genuine six-pointer in the lower half of the standings early in the campaign.

Historically this has been a tight and balanced rivalry: across the last 15 meetings between the clubs, Bilje have won 6, Jadran Dekani 3, with 6 draws, and the most recent encounter ended in a share of the spoils, as shown by the 2-2 draw in Dekani back in April 2026. Bilje's last league outing before this fixture finished 3-1 away to Krško Posavlje in Round 8 on 27 September, a result that has left the Black and Whites looking to bounce back in front of their own supporters.

Both squads for the 2026/27 season have been reshaped in the summer window. Bilje, coached by Miran Srebrnič, rely on goalkeeper Borna Bošnjak, defenders Alexander Stožinič and Marko Furlan, midfielders Abdul Rashid Fuseini and Kalani Almeida, and forwards Kristjan Kozar and Gideon Effiong Ukpong. Jadran Dekani, under Alen Ščulac, bring a refreshed squad featuring Jakob Kobal in goal, summer signings Dino Vadnov and Matija Burin in defence, Franko Čordaš and Nik Fortuna in midfield, and the attacking duo of Adis Emruli and Andreas Ščulac.

Looking at the European odds for this match, the bookmakers make Jadran Dekani the favourites despite their away status: a home win for Bilje is priced at 3.36, the draw at 3.79, and an away win for Dekani at 2.05, reflecting the visitors' stronger market rating and Bilje's disrupted preparation. Both teams are expected to find the net in an open contest, and our prediction for the match is a 1-2 away victory for Jadran Dekani, edging a competitive derby and climbing above Bilje in the 2. SNL ta
