**Early standings in the 2026–27 Slovenian PrvaLiga highlight a tight relegation battle at the bottom after the first eight to nine rounds.** Radomlje sit last with just five points from seven matches and a poor recent record, while Mura and newly promoted Brinje Grosuplje occupy the lower positions with eight points each. Aluminij and Nafta 1903, the other promoted side, hover just above in mid-table but face similar risks given limited squad depth compared with established clubs. Pre-season models flagged Brinje Grosuplje, Radomlje and Aluminij as the primary candidates for the drop zone in the ten-team league, where the bottom side faces direct relegation and ninth place enters a promotion/relegation play-off. Recent results, including Radomlje’s defeats and Mura’s inconsistent form, have reinforced this early picture, though the long schedule ahead leaves room for momentum shifts among the lower half.
