Grosuplje’s fortress at Brinje sets the stage
Grosuplje arrive at Umetno travo Stadion Brinje brimming with momentum and tangible authority. Sitting second in the 2. SNL with 36 points from 14 matches, they have yet to taste defeat this campaign — eleven wins and three draws underline a side that has married attacking productivity with defensive resilience. The home figures are particularly intimidating: 16 goals scored and only 4 conceded at their own ground, seven clean sheets and an average of nearly six corners per game. Recent results read like a statement of intent — victories over Tabor Sežana and Bistrica and a penalty shootout triumph over Maribor — and even their latest outing, a 1-1 draw with Nafta, featured a standout performance from Vinko Skrbin who earned the best player rating in that match. On paper and in form, Grosuplje are firmly in control going into this round 15 fixture.
Bilje need answers away from home
Bilje’s season has been far more unsettled. Mid-table at seventh with 20 points, they have produced glimpses of resilience but lack the consistency to trouble the top teams regularly. Their scoring return — 14 goals across 14 games — pales next to Grosuplje’s offensive output, and their recent run includes a demoralising 0-1 defeat to Beltinci and a heavy 4-1 loss to Nafta earlier in the campaign. Away numbers show seven goals scored and nine conceded, and while Bilje can grind out draws (five so far), they have only three wins in their last ten fixtures. The head-to-head from April provides little comfort: Grosuplje edged Bilje 1-0, and there is every sign the home side can replicate that control.
How the numbers shape a betting view
The market agrees: bookmakers make Grosuplje heavy favourites at 1.36, translating to a roughly 73.5% implied probability. That strong pricing mirrors the clean-sheet frequency at Brinje and the gulf in goals per game between the two teams. Bilje’s away struggles and Grosuplje’s attacking averages — over 125 attacks and more than 80 dangerous attacks per game for the home side — suggest this will be a test of Bilje’s defensive organisation more than an open shootout.

Betting suggestion: Back Grosuplje to win (1X2). The home side’s unbeaten record, superior goalscoring form, home clean sheets and a market price of 1.36 make the straight home victory the most value-aligned option from the 1X2 market for this fixture.
