  • Second-placed Fehérvár is the team of the moment, with the Hungarians winning their last five games, picking up 14 of a possible 15 points
  • Salzburg have been victorious in seven of their last eight games
    • On Friday, the Red Bulls claimed a 3-1 victory in Villach with a severely depleted squad
  • Head coach Matt McIlvane's team is in fifth place, nine points behind Fehérvár, but has played seven games fewer than the Hungarians.
  • The Red Bulls won the two previous season meetings in Salzburg - 5:3 (27.11.) and 4:3 (1.12.)
  • The teams have faced each other 74 times in league history, with RBS winning 45 of those encounters
  • Last season, Salzburg won both away games against Fehérvár
  • With Colton Hargrove (24 points) and Janos Hari (22) two players of Fehérvár are in the top-10 of the scoring charts
  • Hardly any changes are to be expected in Salzburg's line-up, which means that a number of talented players will once again gain ice time
    • Among them are the young German academy forwards Julian Lutz (16) and Danjo Leonhardt (18), who made their debut with the Red Bulls in the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League on Friday
