Mountfield HK vs Straubing Tigers: match preview on 11 September 2026

# Mountfield HK to Win

Mountfield HK to win. The gap in recent form is substantial: the hosts have won three of their last five matches while the visitors have managed only one victory in the same period. That difference in momentum carries weight even in a non-competitive fixture.

Mountfield HK's results over the past five games read 3:0 away at Crimmitschau, 6:1 at home against Graz, 6:4 at home versus Liberec, then two defeats — 1:3 at Plzeň and 1:2 away to Bremerhaven. They've scored 17 goals and conceded 10, showing they can be both clinical and vulnerable. The two losses came on the road, which suggests they may be more reliable in familiar surroundings.

Straubing Tigers have struggled more sharply. Their last five matches produced just one win — a 5:2 away victory over Black Wings Linz — alongside four defeats including a heavy 2:7 home loss to České Budějovice on 6 September. They've netted 16 goals but let in 21, a leaky defence against a side that scores freely.

The head-to-head gives Mountfield HK further confidence. On 31 August 2024, they won 2:1 away at Straubing in a friendly, proving they know how to navigate this particular opponent. That result came against the same side that is now arriving with a poorer run of form than they did then.

Mountfield HK to win. Stands unless Straubing tighten up or Mountfield slip early.
