Novy Jicin vs Valasske Mezirici: match preview on 8 September 2026

Valasske Mezirici to win on Wednesday. The visitors have won three of their last five friendlies while the hosts have lost four, and the gap in current form is the clearest signal of what this match will produce.

Novy Jicin's recent record offers little comfort. They lost 0:9 to Poruba HC on 27 August, then 2:4 to Koprivnice two days later. Their only victory in that span came 3:1 against BO Ostrava on 20 August. They also lost 1:4 away to Opava and 0:3 away to Šumperk. That is one win, four defeats, and 6 goals scored against 21 conceded across five matches.

Valasske Mezirici have been far more effective. They beat Bytom 5:3 at home on 4 September, then won 6:0 away to Dubnica on 1 September. Their home victory over Uhersky Brod came 4:2 on 27 August. Two defeats bookend that run — a 4:6 loss to Dubnica at home on 25 August and a 1:8 defeat away to Bytom on 19 August. Three wins, two losses, 20 goals scored and 19 conceded.

The head-to-head record favours Novy Jicin. In six meetings they have won four, drawn once and lost once. The most recent encounter ended 1:2 to Novy Jicin on 2 September 2025. Before that came a 3:3 draw at Novy Jicin on 11 September 2024, and a 6:5 victory for Valasske Mezirici on 12 September 2023. The pattern of results does not suggest either side dominates consistently.

This is a friendly match with no league table involved. Both clubs have been active in friendlies throughout August and September 2026. The model suggests a narrow victory for the visitors, with a scoreline around 1:2 or 2:3. Valasske Mezirici's attacking output in their last five matches — 20 goals — points to a side capable of breaking down a hosts team that has conceded 21 goals in the same period.

The conclusion stops holding if Novy Jicin can replicate their 3:1 win over BO BO Ostrava, a result that shows they are capable of competitive performances. A draw would also undermine the prediction, particularly if the hosts manage to contain Valasske Mezirici's attack. The visitors rely on maintaining their current momentum — a loss or draw in the first half would shift the balance significantly.

65% confidence in this outcome.
