I first thought that Jesenice are on a down trend, but since their first goalie Robert Kristan is back, everything seem ok now. They skate as great and fast as they did before and the defence is working well, the only problem left is their power play. They really try to score, but something always goes wrong. Anyway, Jesenice are the best team in penalty killing and the strongest home team (lost only with Vienna at home). Until now they managed to win without organized power play. The team is complete.

I personally believe that Innsbruck doesn't like to play with Jesenice. They own 3 players who played for Acroni last year and both 3 are coming to Podmežaklja today. J.P. Pare, Tomaz Razingar and goalie Seamus Kotyk (come-back today). I remember the first game between Innsbruck and Jesenice, when J.P. Pare told the newspapers that he couldn't sleep the night before the game. He deeply respects Slovenian team and It's fans and for him it is hard to play against them. I'm not sure about Tomaz Razingar, but he was not great the last game at Podmežaklja. I also believe that Kotyk is a better GK than Stromberg, the question is how prepared is he. Innsbruck are without M. Larocque and H. Lindner.

Home ground, skating abbilities and defence should cover the home win - 7/10 for me.
