The dynamics of this traditional duel are shaped by numerous proverbs, which, according to ice hockey fans, also keep their validity in this encounter. The history of the derbies between these two clubs is rich in emotions and twists. This time the challenge will be particularly for the "red jackets", which, compared to previous years, could not show the hoped -for consistency. There are only two victories out of the last six games, which the team currently had to slip into the seventh place.
The meaning of the derbies
The Carinthian derby is not only a sporting challenge, but a game that heats the minds. In the eternal balance sheet, the "red jackets" lead with 190 victories compared to 147 of the "blue-whites". However, the fans also remember glor-rich moments, such as the first derby victory of the "blue and whites" in 1929. In addition, there are numerous exciting anecdotes from the derby history that prove that everything can happen in the derby-even wearing the opposing helmet and a goal in this situation are not excluded.
The "red jackets", which were founded in 1909 and are considered the record champions of the Austrian ice hockey with 32 championship titles, can look back on a long and successful past. In recent years, however, they have not reached the top of the league. At the moment they are plagued by injury worries that severely affect the team. Accordingly, several key players, including top center strikers such as Raphael Herburger and Jan Muršak, are missing, which makes the upcoming derby all the more complicated for the team.
For the "blue and white", the derby is a great opportunity to end the negative series and to show after several severe setbacks that they are still at eye level with their rivals. However, both teams have not yet found the form they want this season. "Blau-Weiß" has also shown fluctuating performances in the last games and often had to be beaten.
In the current season, both the "blue and white" and the "red jackets" promise a gripping duel in which the rivalry and passion of the Carinthian ice hockey meet. The derby always has its own character and it remains to be seen who can prevail on Sunday.
