Referees: TRILAR, ZRNIC, Hribar, Miklic. | >> PPV-LIVESTREAM <<

  • The ICE game day starts on Friday already at 5.30 pm. The Moser Medical Graz99ers and the EC-KAC will meet in the “Pack-Derby”.
  • It is the duel first against second. G99 is at the top of the table, taking 28 points from 13 games. The third placed KAC collected 22 points with the same number of games.
  • While G99 has a three-game winning streak available, the KAC lost two of its last three games - Klagenfurt had to accept the defeats on the road.
  • With five wins from six home games, G99 is the best home team in the league.
  • Both teams have played 13 games each. G99 scored 48 goals, KAC only 31, but the “Rotjacken” only had to take 25 goals against (99ers 35).
  • In their six road games so far, the "Rotjacken" only conceded twelve goals, which (together with the HCB) corresponds to the lowest average per game in the league (2.00). However, the Klagenfurt team is also having a hard time scoring goals abroad: Only Salzburg (1.80) and Villach (2.00) scored less often away than the EC-KAC (2.17).
  • In five of the last six victories G99 was always at least trailing by one goal.
  • The KAC has already met eight different opponents in the current season (no duel with VIC or HCB yet) and was only against G99 goalless. The Styrians won 2:0 in the first duel of the season on October 4th.
  • The “Pack-Derby” is being held for the 133rd time since the league was founded in 2000. The KAC stops at 87 wins.
  • In Graz, the KAC can once again rely on the last stricken defender Fredrik Eriksson. David Fischer (again as interim head coach), Johannes Bischofberger and Niki Kraus are still not on board.
