On Sunday, not only will Salzburg and Klagenfurt face off in a final rematch, but there will also be a special premiere: For the first time in the league’s more than 25-year history, ORF 1 will broadcast a win2day ICE Hockey League game in full length. Coverage begins at 16.15. The game will also be available via livestream on on.orf.at.

Salzburg and Klagenfurt are already in good form. Both teams won two of their four games in the Champions Hockey League and enjoyed successful starts in the ICE season. KAC celebrated a shutout in a 4:0 win against Fehervar, while Salzburg grabbed a 4:3 road victory in Bolzano. In the overall record of 181 head-to-head matchups, Salzburg leads with exactly 100 wins, including victories in their five most recent meetings. The home stats also favor the Red Bulls: 59 wins in Salzburg compared to 31 for the "Red Jackets."

Leaders With Home Advantage
After clear 8:1 wins in their season openers, HC Falkensteiner Pustertal and Olimpija Ljubljana top the standings – and both will be in action at home on Sunday. Pustertal hosts the Moser Medical Graz99ers, who are set for their season debut. Last season, Graz won all four head-to-head encounters.

Ljubljana will face EC iDM Wärmepumpen VSV, who also started their season with a win. Out of VSV’s last nine games in Tivoli, the Villach side managed five victories – four of the game were only decided by just a one-goal margin.

Black Wings Challenge Fehervar
After a poor start, Hydro Fehervar AV19 faces another tough task against the Steinbach Black Wings Linz. The Upper Austrians defeated Vorarlberg 5:2 on Friday, but Fehervar won four of the last five head-to-head games.

Clash of Winless Teams
In the season’s first West Derby, Pioneers Vorarlberg host HC TIWAG Innsbruck. Both teams lost on Friday, with Innsbruck suffering a heavy 1:8 defeat. In preseason, the Tirol team won both matchups with the Pioneers.

It’s also about the first points for the Vienna Capitals and league newcomer FTC-Telekom. Before the game, longtime Caps captain Mario Fischer will be honored: a banner featuring his retired No. 50 jersey will be unveiled in the rafters of STEFFL Arena.
