Liberec Bílí Tygři U20 — České Budějovice U20: 3:4, ELJ

České Budějovice U20 saw off Liberec White Tigers U20 4-3 in the ELJ on 19 September 2026. The visitors took the points away from home, overturning what looked like a comfortable first-half position. Liberec led 3-2 at one stage before the away side found their second wind.

We had backed the hosts at 44 per cent confidence, but the match went another way entirely. And here's the thing — it wasn't a fluke. České Budějovice have been scoring freely of late, and Liberec have nothing to show for six games.

By then, the table told the story clearly enough. České Budějovice sit top after six matches, five wins and one defeat. Liberec remain bottom with zero points and six losses, still searching for their first result of the campaign.

The recent form makes the margin less surprising. České Budějovice came off a 9-2 victory over Mladá Boleslav U20 on Saturday, while Liberec lost 2-0 to Jihlava the same day. They are running out of games to turn things around.

To be fair, Liberec showed they could respond. They fought back from behind twice and had chances to take the lead. But they lost their man at critical moments, and the away side punished the errors.

The result extends České Budějovice's winning run and deepens Liberec's crisis. Bottom side now face a difficult patch without momentum on their side.
