Fri, 11.12.2020 iClinic Bratislava Capitals - EC-KAC 17:30 >> PAY PER VIEW LIVESTREAM <<
Referees: BALUSKA, HRONSKY, Jedlicka, Konc,

  • The iClinic Bratislava Capitals will host the EC-KAC on Friday. Already on Sunday the return leg will take place in Klagenfurt.
  • Neo head coach Peter Draisaitl celebrated a successful debut with the Capitals a few days ago against EC Grand Immo VSV.
  • EC-KAC won the last two games against Vienna and Linz.
  • The first season duel of these two teams went with 2:1 to the newcomer of the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League.
  • For Klagenfurt it is their fourth away game in a row. They have not yet managed to win three away games in a row this season.
  • With Mitchell Hults, Bratislava has the third-best goal scorer in the league in its ranks. The EC-KAC holds against it with the so far most successful goalkeeper Sebastian Dahm (94.5 save %).
  • The KAC will probably also have to do without Clemens Unterweger in Bratislava, who missed both games last weekend with an injury and is not yet fully fit for action.
  • Ryan Culkin could make his first appearance in the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League for Bratislava.

Referees: BERNEKER, SMETANA, Martin, Tschrepitsch

  • The Dornbirn Bulldogs receive live on SKY Sport Austria and on Sky X the EC Red Bull Salzburg.
  • The Salzburgers last won five games in a row. Immediately before the streak, they had to endure an equally long losing streak.
  • Salzburg is playing its third away game in a row.
  • The Dornbirn Bulldogs most recently won the "double" against Bratislava.
  • The two teams will meet for the first time this season. However, the second duel follows already four days later.

Fri, 11.12.2020 HCB Südtirol Alperia - Steinbach Black Wings 1992 20:15 >> PAY PER VIEW LIVESTREAM <<
Referees: BULOVEC, PIRAGIC, Miklic, Zgonc

  • The leader of the standings, Bolzano, will receive the "straggler" Linz of the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League on Friday.
  • HCB Südtiroler Alperia won nine of ten games after the Corona break and thus settled at the top of the standings.
  • The Foxes only conceded more than two goals twice in the last ten games. Seven times they even conceded only one or no goals.
  • The Steinbach Black Wings 1992 also played ten games after the forced break, but could only win two of them.
  • After a commanding 4:1 victory over Villach, the Linz team suffered an equally clear defeat against Fehérvár AV19.
  • Especially in secondary scoring, the Black Wings 1992 have room for improvement. The first-line duo of Dragan Umicevic and Brian Lebler is one of the most successful forward pairings in the league.
  • The two teams are meeting for the third time this season. The South Tyroleans won the first two duels.
