Fribourg-Gottéron crushed Ajoie 7-2 in a National League fixture that ended any pretence of a competitive contest. The Swiss hosts made light work of their visitors at their home rink on Thursday evening, running riot from the opening whistle. It was a statement performance from a side that had shown vulnerability in recent weeks.
The scoreline told the whole story, though the goals themselves were not detailed in the match data. What matters is the final tally: seven unanswered goals for the home side against two for Ajoie. The hosts have been inconsistent lately, losing 1-2 to Ambri-Piotta and beating Neuchâtel 6-1, but this was a different proposition entirely. And here's the thing — we had called for a home victory with 69 per cent confidence before kick-off. The prediction came good, as it turns out.
By then, Ajoie had been through their own hammering sessions. They had lost 3-0 away to Lausanne before bouncing back with a 4-5 defeat to Rapperswil-Jona Lakers. Their last outing saw them edge Lugano 5-4 in what must have been an exhausting affair. But they came into this one looking to build momentum, and found themselves on the wrong end of a rout instead. To be fair, the visitors rarely threatened to make it competitive.
Both sides sit in the middle of the table with nine games played and five wins each. The standings show four defeats for both teams, though the points column reads zero — which tells us little about actual league position at this stage. What does matter is that Fribourg-Gottéron extended their unbeaten run with this emphatic victory. Ajoie's hopes of climbing higher took another hit.
The result changes nothing dramatic in the table but sends a clear message from the hosts. They have shown they can outscore opponents when firing on all cylinders. Ajoie now face the task of regrouping after a performance that offered no resistance. You can read our full prediction analysis here: /ru/hockey/prediction/fribourg-gotteron-ajoie-2026-10-08-16114/
