Velké Meziříčí secured a 3:1 victory against Havlíčkův Brod in the Czech Cup on 19 September 2026. The hosts took all three points at home, moving ahead in what appears to be the opening phase of the competition. Both sides enter this fixture with fresh records, each sitting at zero games played in the current standings.
The league positions shown for both clubs reflect the pre-match situation rather than any progress made in this tournament. Velké Meziříčí were listed second, while Havlíčkův Brod occupied fourth place, though neither side had yet recorded a win, draw, or defeat in the current campaign.
The home side arrived in confident mood following a strong recent run. They had won four of their last five matches, including victories over Kometa Brno, Kolín, Kojetín, and ČZU Prague, with only a 0:3 loss to Beskydy B interrupting their form.
Havlíčkuv Brod, by contrast, had found results elusive on their recent travels. Their last four fixtures all ended in defeat, including a 1:3 loss to Kolín and a 0:3 away defeat to Velké Meziříčí on 14 September 2024.
The history between the two clubs adds an edge to this encounter. Havlíčkův Brod had already fallen to a 0:3 defeat against Velké Meziříčí earlier in September 2024, and this cup result extended that run of poor form against their local rivals.
The 3:1 scoreline means Velké Meziříčí move into a stronger position in the competition, while Havlíčkův Brod will need to respond after another heavy defeat. The hosts now hold the tie in their own hands as they look to progress further.
