Lausanne Tigers beat Ambrì-Piotta 6:3 in a club friendly match on 27 August 2026. The visitors ran out winners at home soil, ending a day that offered little in the way of drama but plenty of context for what follows.
Both sides were looking for rhythm ahead of the new campaign. Ambrì-Piotta had come off a 2:4 defeat to Visp six days earlier, while Lausanne Tigers were nursing a narrow 0:1 loss to EHC Kloten. Neither result suggested a side in peak form.
The recent history of both clubs tells a different story, though. Ambrì-Piotta had won four of their last five meetings with Ajoie, including a 6:3 romp in March. Lausanne Tigers had beaten Bern 2:1 and Hurri 5:3 in their last three outings, but also suffered heavy defeats to Zurich Lions and Biel back in March.
By then, the table goes out of the window in these games. There were no standings to shift, no points on offer. What mattered was finding solutions before the competitive season began.
The 6:3 scoreline reflected a match where Lausanne Tigers took control early and did not let go. Ambrì-Piotta will need to find more cutting edge if they want to avoid another defeat to Visp in the weeks ahead.
