Ok.Good game here as improving Zvolen takes on poor Zilina.

Zvolen (currently 7th) has rather poor record so far, as expectations for this team are always very high.Main problem for them this year has been the ability to maintain long winning streaks - every time they would ride a hot streak, cold one would be just as long.However, they have majorly improved, and have 6wins in the last 8 games (3 wins followed

by a loss, and then again 3 wins).Other then that, Zvolen has four wins out of 5 at home ice, with the only loss coming from strong Slovan Bratislava.Zvolen does not build on individuals, but works well as disciplined squad.If they catch a momentum (as they have in the past few weeks), the can be very dangerous.

Zilina is having very bad season, positioned 9th with just 9 wins in 25 matches.What is even worse then that, is the terrible record of 12 losses in the last 13 games - single win coming over lat Liptovsky Mikulas.Zilina made a couch change, and is hoping that the team will wake up and show more on the ice.What I fear here is the fact that the squad is very poor and coaching changes will take time before good results come in.

Besides the quality and form difference, there also is traditional advantage on the side of Zvolen - they won both matches this season, and has 7 wins over Zilina in the last 10 home matches.

Zvolen lost the last match in very strong Poprad, and has get back on winning frequency, as they want to improve their play-off position (there is very little chance of them not making the play-offs).

Home team is big favourite here - the form, the quality, morale and tradition are all on their end, so anything but a home win would be a big surprise here.IMO, result 4:2 seems to be good for this game.
