Benátky played out a 4:3 victory over Leipzig in a club friendly on 28 August 2026. The match ended with the home side taking all three points after a hard-fought contest.
Benátky arrive in fine form heading into this fixture. They beat Kobra Praha 3:2 on 25 August, followed by an 8:3 win against Vrchlabí two days earlier. Prior to that came a 5:3 victory over Příbram on 18 August, then another 4:3 win against Kobra Praha on 14 August. They also secured a 4:3 triumph over Milevsko back in February.
Leipzig's recent record shows more mixed results. A 4:3 win against Rostock on 3 March was their last positive result. Before that they lost 1:5 to Hammer Eisbären on 1 March, then bounced back with a 9:4 victory over Herner on 27 February. They dropped points in a 5:6 defeat to Herford on 22 February, but ended that run with a comfortable 7:2 win against Erfurt on 20 February.
Both sides seem to be using friendlies to test combinations ahead of the new season. The high-scoring nature of this encounter suggests attacking intent rather than cautious preparation. By then, summer tours often prioritise rhythm over results.
The 4:3 scoreline gives Benátky a positive send-off before the competitive campaign begins. Leipzig will take heart from their ability to score freely despite defensive vulnerabilities shown in earlier fixtures.
