Arosa completed their warm-up series with a 4-2 victory over Bregenzerwald in a club friendly match on Wednesday evening. The Swiss side showed no signs of letting up after their impressive run of results earlier in August, taking full advantage of an open encounter.
Arosa arrived in good shape, having beaten Basel 5-2 and Oberthurgau 5-1 in their previous two outings. Bregenzerwald, meanwhile, had been involved in some high-scoring affairs recently, including a 6-5 win over Ritten and a 5-3 victory against Akroni Jesenice. Both sides clearly came to play.
The result extended Arosa's momentum from their earlier August fixtures. They had lost 2-6 to Davos on their first trip, but responded with back-to-back convincing wins before stepping onto the pitch against the Austrian hosts. Bregenzerwald's recent record suggests they are comfortable in open games, but this time it was not enough.
Both teams have clearly prioritised fitness and attacking sharpness over results in these pre-season encounters. Arosa's ability to find the net consistently — four goals here, five against Basel and Oberthurgau — indicates they are building something. Bregenzerwald scored twice but conceded four, a pattern familiar from their recent matches.
The friendly provides both clubs with material to evaluate before the competitive season begins. For Arosa, it was another opportunity to build confidence. For Bregenzerwald, it was a reminder that even in friendlies, defence still matters.
