Modra hosted Litovec in a club friendly on 22 August 2026, losing 25:28 in a match that offered little comfort to the home side. Both teams came into the fixture with different stories to tell, and the final score reflected that unevenness. By then any competitive urgency would have been secondary to getting match fitness.
The 25:28 result was tighter than Modra's recent run might suggest, but it still extended a difficult period for the hosts. They have now lost five consecutive matches, each one ending in a comfortable margin for their opponents. The defeats have come against Tatran Presov, HK Kosice, Nove Zamky, Považská Bystrica and Bojnice.
For Litovec, this was a win that felt earned rather than inevitable. Their last five matches show a more varied record — two victories, one draw and one loss. The 27:40 defeat to RK Koprivnica in August 2025 was their only loss in that span, and even that was a one-sided affair.
The friendly format meant neither side needed to protect anything, which often produces open games. And here's the thing about friendlies — they rarely reveal much about what a team can do under pressure, but they do show whether players are sharp enough to finish chances.
Modra's run of defeats has them searching for answers, while Litovec can take some confidence from holding their nerve in a match that could have gone either way.
