bet-at-home ICE Hockey League, Sunday, 09.01.2022:

spusu Vienna Capitals - Moser Medical Graz99ers 4:30 p.m. | LIVE on PULS 24 and in free stream
Referees: RENCZ, TRILAR, Kis-Kiraly, Konc

Due to medical precautions, the match spusu Vienna Capitals - EC Red Bull Salzburg and Moser Medical Graz99ers - HC TIWAG Innsbruck, originally scheduled for Sunday, have been postponed. Instead, the match of the 42nd round was brought forward to Sunday, 09.01.2022, which will also be shown LIVE on PULS 24. The Viennese are the strongest team at home in the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League (>> to the article) and want to underline this position also on Sunday against the 99ers. Now the Viennese are aiming for their first win in this calendar year, having last lost to HC Tesla Orli Znojmo as guests. The Styrians have also not yet been able to record a success in 2022. The Styrians have already been defeated by both teams from Carinthia this year. In the two previous seasonal duels between Vienna and Graz, the home team prevailed in each case - a series that has been going on throughout the season for almost two years. In each of the last nine encounters, the hosts came out on top. Graz was last able to win in Vienna on December 13, 2019.

EC-KAC - HCB Südtirol Alperia 5:30 p.m. | Live on PPV Stream
Referees: OFNER, STERNAT, Bärnthaler, Miklic

The EC-KAC challenges on Sunday in a direct duel for the second place in the table. The Redcoats would need a full success to oust the South Tyroleans from second place. Recently, the Klagenfurter presented themselves strong despite numerous absences and celebrated with a short team a sovereign victory over the Moser Medical Graz99ers. Also on Sunday Head Coach Petri Matikkainen has to substitute some players. At least Steven Strong will definitely return to the lineup after serving his suspension. In addition, Rok Tičar and Lukas Haudum may make their comeback. HCB Südtirol Alperia celebrated a spectacular comeback win against the Dornbirn Bulldogs on Thursday. The Foxes were already trailing 0:3 in the final period before they started a comeback and finally prevailed in overtime. In the two previous season duels between KAC and Bozen, the home team prevailed in each case. The Klagenfurt team has won its last five home games against the South Tyroleans - including two final games.

EC Grand Immo VSV - HC Tesla Orli Znojmo 5:30 p.m | Live on PPV Stream
Referees: NIKOLIC M., SMETANA, Hribar, Kainberger

EC Grand Immo VSV will meet HC Tesla Orli Znojmo for the third time this season. The VSV were able to win the first two duels in a commanding manner. While the Czechs would catch up with the Villachers in the standings with a win, VSV could jump back into the top-6 with a success. The VSV proved their current top form in the last matches. With four wins in a row, the Blue-Whites currently have the second-longest winning streak in existence. But also Znojmo could convince in its first game of this calendar year and defeated the spusu Vienna Capitals with 5:3. In away games the Czechs have their problems this season. With an average of only 0.80 points "on the road", they are in second last place in this ranking, ahead of the league's last team Linz.
