Litoměřice edged Tábor 1:0 in a club friendly on Thursday evening. The result came just two days after the sides met in another warm-up encounter. That previous fixture ended in a 4:5 thriller at Tábor's ground.
Both teams have been testing their options ahead of the new campaign. Litoměřice's recent run includes defeats to Pardubice Dynamo B and Sparta Prague, alongside a narrow win against Chomutov. Tábor's friendlies show more mixed fortunes, with heavy wins over Dresden Ice Lions and Slavia Prague balanced by losses to České Budějovice and Jihlava.
The contrast between Saturday's 5:4 encounter and today's 1:0 result is striking. Where both sides traded goals freely before, Thursday's match settled into a tighter pattern. The hosts held firm and took the points.
Without detailed match statistics available, the performance cannot be measured beyond the scoreline. Both teams have played five friendlies each so far, experimenting with different line-ups and approaches. What remains clear is that these are preparation games, not competitive fixtures.
Litoměřice now turn their attention back to their own schedule. Tábor will review another away result, this time without the goalscoring feast of their previous meeting. Both sides still have work to do before the real season begins.
