Adle Mannheim took all three points against Eisbären Berlin with a 4:3 scoreline in the DEL on September 20th, 2026. The result came at a venue where the hosts had just lost to München Red Bull, while Berlin arrived fresh from a narrow 4:2 win over Straubing Tigers. and here's the thing — neither side had accumulated any points at this stage of the campaign.
The visitor had been building momentum through their opening fixtures, picking up victories against Hérning Blå Fox and Graz 99ers before their heavy defeat to Davos. Mannheim, meanwhile, had shown they could score freely with wins over Fribourg-Gottéron and Bordeau, though they had also tasted defeat against Skellefteå. to be fair, both teams had demonstrated they could find the net regularly in their previous outings.
Seven goals across the contest suggests neither side was particularly defensive-minded, which fits with the pattern of recent form. Berlin had been involved in high-scoring affairs recently — a 2:8 loss to Davos and a 2:6 defeat to Servette — while Mannheim had seen four-goal games against Fribourg and five-goal affairs against Bordeau. The result keeps both clubs level on points at the bottom of the table.
Our prediction had backed the home side at 47% confidence, and while that wasn't particularly generous, the narrow margin tells you this was closer than the odds might suggest. by then you could see both teams throwing everything at it, which is why the final tally reached seven.
The scoreline leaves Mannheim in eighth place and Berlin in fourth, though neither position carries much weight with just one game played and zero points on the board. What matters more is that both clubs have now tasted victory in their opening DEL fixture of the season.
