CrimmitschauDrawDusseldorf
The DEL 2 season kicks off with a matchup between Crimmitschau and Dusseldorf on September 18, 2026. Both teams are looking to start their campaigns strongly, with Crimmitschau wanting to improve upon a rocky previous campaign and Dusseldorf aiming to translate their recent successes into the new season.
Team form
Crimmitschau
Crimmitschau enters this match coming off a mixed set of results. They recorded a victory in their most recent match against Halle, winning 4-0, but their previous three fixtures have seen them struggle significantly. They were defeated by Lausitzer Fuchse (0-3), Bremerhaven (1-5), and Mountfield HK (0-3). The home side had an average of 1.8 goals scored and 2.6 goals conceded across their last five outings, indicating a need for tighter defensive cohesion alongside some attacking flair.
Dusseldorf
On the other side, Dusseldorf will be looking to leverage their slightly stronger recent form. Despite falling short against Hannover Scorpions (2-5) and Rouen (2-3) in their last two fixtures, they recorded impressive wins against Amiens (6-2) and Tilburg Trappers (7-1) during their stay. They scored an average of 4.2 goals while conceding 2.6, showcasing their attacking prowess and ability to beat teams convincingly when on their game.
Head-to-head
Historically, there are no previous meetings between Crimmitschau and Dusseldorf, which means both teams will approach this match without any preconceived notions from past encounters.
Key factors
In this opening match, one of the key factors will be Dusseldorf's attacking strength, led by their high-scoring averages from recent matches. If they can maintain pressure on Crimmitschau's defensive line, they could exploit any vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, Crimmitschau must find a way to solidify their defense after conceding heavily in their previous fixtures, especially if they intend to contest the match effectively. The home advantage may offer Crimmitschau a slight lift, but they need to step up their performance at both ends of the ice.
Prediction
Given Dusseldorf's recent attacking form and overall team strengths, they appear to have a solid edge going into this encounter against Crimmitschau. With an average of over four goals in their last matches compared to Crimmitschau's struggles in both scoring and defense, the away side stands as the likely favourite. The combination of Crimmitschau's need for defensive improvement and Dusseldorf's confidence might suggest a high-scoring game with good chances on both ends, aligned with a clear trend from recent performances.
Considering the current form and statistics from their recent matches, Dusseldorf seems set to secure an away win in this opening game. Crimmitschau faces an uphill battle to penetrate Dusseldorf's rapidly improving lineup.
