Lvi Praha saw off Giesen 3-0 in a club friendly on September 25th, 2026. The hosts controlled the match from the opening set, maintaining their advantage without letting the visitors find any rhythm. It was a straightforward performance, the kind that doesn't need embellishment.
I had backed the home side in my preview, and the result confirmed that call. We were looking at an 80 per cent chance for Lvi Praha, and they delivered exactly what we expected — a comfortable victory built on solid fundamentals.
The visitors arrived carrying a mixed record from their recent outings. They had taken points from Daхаu and Gelsenkirchen in March, but losses to Freiburg and Düren suggested inconsistency. By then, the pattern was clear enough.
Lvi Praha, meanwhile, had been building momentum. A 3-0 win over Kladnо and a 2-1 result against Liberec in September showed they were finding their feet. That recent form made the outcome here less surprising.
The match itself followed a predictable pattern. Lvi Praha won the first set, extended their lead in the second, and closed it out in the third without any real drama. Giesen never really threatened to turn things around.
And here's the thing — this wasn't a statement victory in the grand sense. It was a friendly, after all. But the way Lvi Praha managed their sets showed they're building something worth watching this season.
