Mogo beat Liepāya 4:1 in the Optibet Hockey League on 26 September 2026. The hosts moved further clear at the top of the table after a result that ended Liepāya's recent momentum. It was a straightforward evening for the home side, who had already won four of their five league games before kick-off.
And here's the thing — the scoreline reflected a pattern Mogo had been building since the season began. They came into this fixture fresh off a 4:1 win over HK Panter Tallinn, while Liepāya had gone without a victory in their last two outings. The visitors had beaten Mogo 2:1 just ten days earlier, but this time the balance shifted firmly.
To be fair, the match didn't need drama to make its point. Mogo took control early and never looked back, while Liepāya struggled to find any rhythm against a side that has won four of five games this term. The visitors managed to pull one back, but the hosts responded without hesitation and put the result beyond doubt.
The prediction held up. We had called for a home win with 64 per cent confidence, and the result confirmed that reading. Mogo at home has been hard to stop, and Liepāya away has been easier to predict — they have not won since their opening match.
By then, the gap in the table widened further. Mogo sit 1st with 5 games played and 4 wins, while Liepāya remain 3rd with 3 wins and 2 losses. Both sides carry 0 points in the standings, which tells you the league is still finding its shape after five rounds.
What matters here is the trajectory. Mogo have turned their consistency into a lead, and Liepāya will need to address their away form if they want to close the gap. The hosts hold every card for now, and the visitors have work to do.
