Referees: SIEGEL, SMETANA, Gatol-Schafranek, Riecken. | >> PPV-LIVESTREAM <<
With Hydro Fehérvár AV19 and the EC iDM Wärmepumpen VSV the two hottest teams of the league will meet on Friday. While the Hungarians have won all of their past three games and have lost only one of their past eight games overall, Villach has an active winning streak of four games. Meanwhile, Fehérvár is already back in sixth place in the table. They are four points behind fourth-placed VSV and they are five points ahead of the seventh place. The showpiece of last year's finalist is its defense. With 54 goals conceded, AVS has the second-best defense in the league. They have not conceded a goal for over three games, a total of 219 minutes and 28 seconds. The VSV for comparison managed the last shutout 19 games ago, on October 14th, against Pustertal. In total, the Eagles have already conceded 79 goals, 25 more than Fehérvár. The two teams have met twice this season. So far, the away team has always won by a narrow margin of one goal difference. Last season, the two teams faced each other in the semifinals, which Fehérvár won 4:1.

Fri, 16.12.2022, 19:45: HCB Südtirol Alperia - Steinbach Black Wings Linz
Referees: GROZNIK, OFNER, Basso, Zgonc. | >> PPV-LIVESTREAM <<
Another top-6 duel will be played between the HCB Südtirol Alperia and the Steinbach Black Wings Linz. The Foxes are third in the table and have a four-point lead over the fifth-placed Black Wings. The Upper Austrians travel to South Tyrol with two wins in a row and thus a lot of self-confidence. Only 24 hours later they are challenged again at Asiago. Bolzano, which is three points behind the top of the table, conceded a 1:3 home defeat against Villach last Sunday. It was only the second defeat in front of a home crowd for the league's best home team. The Black Wings, on the other hand, are the third-best away team in the ICE with 20 out of a possible 30 points. In the previous two duels of the season, the home team prevailed in each case by a narrow 2:1 margin. On the Linz side, Raphael Wolf is among those missing. The 26-year-old took a painful shot to the upper body in training on Wednesday and had to undergo surgery the same day. The left-footed player is facing a break of up to six weeks. Alexander Lahoda will celebrate his comeback after a long injury break.
