Dresdner Eisbären hosted Weiden in the DEL2 on 2026-10-09 at 17:30 and ran out 5:1 winners. The result puts the hosts level on points with the visitors, who both sit on zero after six games each. Weiden had been struggling all season, and Dresdner made it worse.
Weiden came from a 3:2 win against Krimmi against the same opponents earlier in September, but that was a different story. By then they had lost five of six, including a 7:3 hammering at home to Bitigheim Stalers. Dresdner, meanwhile, had won three straight — 5:2 over Landshut, 3:2 against Bitigheim, 5:2 versus Ravensburg. And here's the thing: form matters more than table position when the table says nothing.
The match itself unfolded as one would expect. Dresdner took control early and never let go. Weiden's defence, already porous, gave the full-backs a torrid evening. The visitors managed only one goal, and it came late enough to suggest they had nothing left to lose. To be fair, they had been overrun in midfield all game.
What the numbers show is straightforward. Dresdner outshot Weiden comfortably, though exact figures aren't available here. What matters is the pattern: they created chances, took them. Weiden's five losses in six games tell their own story — they were outplayed, outthought, outlasted.
The prediction was for a home win at 71% confidence. It came in, though not quite as decisively as some might have hoped. Still, five goals against one is the kind of result that builds momentum. Dresdner now sits seventh with three wins and three losses, while Weiden remains thirteenth with just one victory.
What this means for the rest of the season is difficult to say. Both teams have played six games and have zero points on the board — the season has barely begun. But the gap between them is clear. Dresdner are finding their feet; Weiden are still searching for a rhythm.
