Two 2nd placed team meets. Landshut is 2nd from above, Regensburg from below. Still, their last meeting ended with 6:0 win of Regensburg. How? There's no logical explanation, maybe because Landshut underestimated them, maybe because of extra motivation as this is local derby, or maybe Landshut players only had bad day.

I don't expect them to repeat it, neither their fans do. Regensburg is their usual "customer", in last four seasons Landshut recorded W6-D2-L2 at home against them. Landshut is in good form, having won seven out of last eight games (two in OT/SO). They have solid defense, while their efficiency could be better (still they are 2nd by PP efficiency).

Regensburg has the worst defense in league, and here i can see great advantage for Landshut. Regensburg first goalie Patrick Couture has 3,13 GAA, while his backup Huber is on 5,81 GAA. Really bad stats. Away Regensburg is total disaster with W2-D0-L10 23:49, they've managed to win only against last Bremerhaven and Ravensburg that is two places above them.

Quality is on home side, also team shouldn't lack motivation after last humiliating defeat and also because this is a local derby. Home advantage and one extra day to rest and prepare for this match are also going in Landshut favor and i can see revenge for last loss. Neither team didn't reported any important injuries.
