Adler Mannheim vs Krefeld Prediction 25 September 2026

Adler Mannheim have been involved in consistently high-scoring matches recently. They lost 3-5 to Nuremberg and 3-4 to Munich after overtime, while beating Eisbaren Berlin 4-3. In the Champions Hockey League, Mannheim also defeated Fribourg 4-3 and Bordeaux 5-4. They have scored 19 goals across their last five matches, although they have conceded 19 as well.

Krefeld have also started the season with strong attacking numbers. They beat Straubing 6-3 in their latest DEL fixture but previously lost 1-3 to Bremerhaven. Their recent preparation matches were more successful, with victories over Bremerhaven (3-2), Esbjerg (3-2 after overtime) and Iserlohn (3-2 after overtime). Krefeld have scored 16 goals in their last five games.

Both teams have shown considerable attacking potential, but Adler Mannheim have faced stronger opposition and have repeatedly found the net. Playing at home should give Mannheim additional control and allow them to dictate the pace against a Krefeld side that has also conceded regularly.

Mannheim's attacking quality and home advantage make a handicap on the hosts an attractive option. Krefeld have demonstrated that they can score, but Adler Mannheim should have enough offensive pressure to create a margin on home ice.
