Muntfeld HK U20 secured a 5:4 victory over Mlada-Boleslav U20 in a club friendly match on 25 August 2026. The result completes a clean sweep for the German side across both encounters this summer, having already defeated their Czech opponents 3:0 back on 6 August. And here's the thing — this was a rematch of sorts, with both teams testing their waters ahead of the new season.
Mlada-Boleslav U20 arrived in decent form, having won three of their previous four friendlies. They beat Kosice U20 2:1 on 21 August, saw off Ceske Budejovice U20 4:3 on 15 August, and edged Liberec Bilii Tigerzi U20 1:0 on 4 August. Their only loss in that span came against Adler Mannheim U20 6:5 on 13 August.
Muntfeld HK U20 showed more consistency in their recent run. After losing 2:3 to Jiglava U20 on 11 August, they bounced back with a 3:1 win over Kometa Brno U20 on 20 August. They had also beaten Mlada-Boleslav U20 3:0 earlier in August, though they suffered a 3:4 defeat to Koln U20 on 4 August.
The final scoreline suggests a closely contested affair, though without minute-by-minute details we cannot say precisely when momentum shifted. What we know is that Muntfeld HK U20 managed to outscore their hosts by a single goal, extending their head-to-head advantage to two wins from two meetings this preparation period.
For Mlada-Boleslav U20, this result means another narrow defeat in their pre-season campaign. They cannot afford another slip if they want to build confidence ahead of competitive fixtures. By then, the focus will shift from friendlies to whatever tournament structure awaits them.
