“I definitely think it’s been a very interesting series so far for both the players and the fans. Both teams have faced their fair share of challenges, especially with injuries and similar issues,” said Dobric, who has been with Sisak since 2021.

The Croatians went into Tuesday’s away game in Merano with a 3:2 series lead but narrowly lost 3:4 – setting the stage for today’s big showdown: “In the last game in Merano, we drifted a bit from our game, but nothing too drastic. As you can see from the score, it was still a very close matchup.”

For Game 7, Dobric sees his team at an advantage, especially thanks to the crowd: over 2,700 fans in the Ledena dvorana Zibel are expected to create an incredible atmosphere. “I think it’s going to be a real spectacle at our ‘home,’ and we’ll do everything we can to reach the finals and build from there. As long as we stick to our game plan and perform at our best, there’s no reason why the outcome shouldn’t be positive for us.”
