Ravensburg secured a 2:1 victory over Freiburg in the DEL2 on Thursday evening, maintaining their position in the upper half of the table. The home side played at their own rink on 9 October 2026, and the result keeps them five places clear of the visitors.
Both sides arrived with identical points tallies from six games, though the quality of results told a different story. Ravensburg had accumulated four wins against two defeats, while Freiburg managed only two victories in the same span. By then the pattern was already visible.
The home team came into the fixture on a run that included a 6:5 triumph over Memmingen and a 4:2 win against Bad Nauheim. Freiburg had shown flashes of life with a 3:2 victory over Regensburg, but their recent form also featured losses to Kassel and Memmingen.
and here's the thing — we had called for a home win before kickoff, putting the confidence at 69 per cent. The prediction held up. Ravensburg controlled the tempo and made their chances count when it mattered.
The result means Ravensburg move further clear of the mid-table pack, while Freiburg remain rooted to twelfth place after six rounds. The gap in points between the sides was already there, but this match widened it.
To be fair, the scoreline did not tell the whole story. Both teams traded chances throughout, and the deciding moment came in the final stages when Ravensburg held their nerve.
