VSV vs. KAC
EC iDM Wärmepumpen VSV slipped to the bottom of the table on Friday after a 4:5 overtime defeat against Linz - their third loss in a row. Villach have lost eight of their eleven matches so far, all of them by a maximum of two goals. The goals-against average of 3.82 is not only currently the highest in the win2day ICE Hockey League, it is also the highest in the 25 years since the league was newly founded. The seventh-placed Red Jackets recently lost to both HCB Südtirol (2:7) and Fehérvár AV19 (0:1). The personnel situation at the EC-KAC has not changed, with Jan Muršak, Nick Pastujov, Raphael Herburger and Fabian Hochegger missing four regulars from the offence. After VSV took an early 2:0 lead, Klagenfurt turned the first derby of the season around and won 5:3 at home. Five of the last six and 15 of the last 23 derbies in Villach have also ended in a win for Klagenfurt.

Pioneers vs. Bolzano
The Pioneers Vorarlberg left the bottom of the table with a brilliant 5:1 home win over Vienna on Friday. Kevin Marcierzyski played a major part in the hosts' success with a brace and an assist. Bolzano suffered a defeat (2:3 against Salzburg) after five previous victories, but are still top of the table. The Foxes have won all five of their away games after regular time, but the Pioneers have won the four league duels in Feldkirch so far.

Asiago vs. Pustertal
HC Pustertal is one of the teams with the strongest form in the win2day ICE Hockey League. The Brunico side has won five of their last seven games and is also in the top six, but their derby opponents Asiago have also repeatedly impressed with strong results recently, with the Yellow & Reds winning in Graz on Friday. Matteo Gennaro and Alex Ierullo (16 points each) are leading the scoring charts of the win2day ICE Hockey League. Asiago have won all four league home games against Pustertal so far.

Ljubljana vs. Graz
With three wins from their last four games, Ljubljana have moved up to fifth in the table. The Slovenians are one point and one place behind the Moser Medical Graz99ers. The Styrians have again suffered three defeats from their last four games. The 99ers have never scored more than two goals in these games. The two teams met once before at the Tivoli a fortnight ago, when Olimpija prevailed 4:2.
