Mogo beat Zemgale Jelgava 4:2 in the Optibet Hockey League on 7 October 2026, a result that keeps the hosts firmly at the summit of the table. The home side had won six of seven league games before this match, while the visitors carried an unbeaten record from four matches.
The prediction of a home victory came through, though with only 52 per cent confidence. Zemgale Jelgava had been stringing together wins, including a 7:0 demolition of Riga, but Mogo's consistency across seven games made them the firmer favourite.
Mogo's recent run has been emphatic — 9:1 against Panax Vilnius, 4:1 over Liepaja, and 4:1 against HK Panthers Tallinn among the more dominant displays. Zemgale Jelgava's form was equally sharp, with 5:2 and 7:0 victories over Riga, and a 6:5 thriller against Panax Vilnius.
Both sides had met earlier this season, and the memory of that 11:4 result for Zemgale Jelgava on 28 August likely hung over this fixture. The visitors came for a cross he never reached in terms of expectations, but Mogo held a high line and controlled the tempo.
The table now shows Mogo in first place with seven games played, while Zemgale Jelgava sit fourth after four matches. The gap between them is less about points than about experience through the opening weeks of the league.
For Mogo, the win extends their winning streak and reinforces their position at the top. Zemgale Jelgava will look to rebuild, having lost to a side they had previously beaten by a wider margin.
