Early in the 2026–27 Slovenian PrvaLiga, newly promoted Brinje Grosuplje sits near the bottom after nine matches with just eight points and a negative goal difference, reflecting the typical adjustment challenges for promoted sides against more established squads. Radomlje (five points from seven games) and Mura (eight points from eight) also occupy the lower reaches, continuing patterns of inconsistency seen in prior campaigns. Pre-season models flagged Brinje Grosuplje, Nafta 1903, and Radomlje as the primary relegation candidates based on squad strength and historical results. With one direct relegation spot and a play-off for ninth place, early form, defensive vulnerabilities, and fixture difficulty will shape trader views on which clubs face the steepest climb to safety.
