Olimpija Ljubljana as a competitor

Olimpija Ljubljana presented itself strongly this season. The team can look back on ten wins (including three in extra time) and only six defeats, which brings them a total of 27 points. Last but not least, these successes are thanks to the targeted investments of the new owner, which brought back many local talents and strengthened the team through international transfers. Under the direction of coach Anti Karhula there are 21 Slovenian players and additional talents from all over the world in the squad.

The stars of the team like 20-year-old Marcel Mahkovec and experienced Robert Sabolic play a crucial role in the success of the team. Mahkovec has scored 5 goals and 7 assists so far and is a decisive factor in the offensive series, while Lukas Horak stands out in goal with a catch rate of 92.4%. The efficiency of the penalty killing is particularly impressive: in just 37 outnumbered situations, the Slovenes only conceded five goals, which corresponds to a success rate of 86.5%.

In the previous duel of the two teams this season, which took place on October 11, the Foxes in Ljubljana won 5-2. The scorers of the game included Hults and Finoro, and the position for the second leg could be exciting because the HCB absolutely wants to build on the success.

For HCB South Tyrol, however, the game is of great importance. After the white-red had last had to accept an away defeat at the Red Bulls, coach Glen Hanlon now wants to find his way back to the old success. In view of the strengths that were shown in the second third of the last game, Bolzano could call up the necessary performance, but they have to go into the game particularly well prepared. Except for Enrico Miglioranz, who is currently failing, all players are available to the trainer, which could be an advantage because the best line -up will be necessary to survive the strong Slovenes.

The table shows an exciting competition for the upper places. The HCB is currently in second place with 38 points, just one point behind the Hydro Fehérvár AV19, while Olimpija Ljubljana lingered in fifth place with 27 points. It is an intensive duel that will certainly move the fans of both teams into the arena. The anticipation of the game is noticeable and the spectators can look forward to a high -class ice hockey game. Further information on tickets and the course of the game is also available online.
