© Sports report
The HC TIWAG Innsbruck-Die Haie will be guest at the EC GRAND Immo VSV tomorrow, Friday, in Villach. It is the first meeting the sharks and eagles in this season of the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League. The team of Haie head coach Mitch O’Keefe is currently the team of the hour in the league, six victories in a row could die Tyroleans celebrate last, a success in Villach would be the seventh coup.
But a difficult task awaits the Tyroleans. The eagles have shown themselves to be in better shape recently, the troops that were newly formed in the summer are getting better and better together. The Villacher have strengthened significantly after the last season. For example, the ex-Salzburg John Hughes or the former sharks Philipp Lindner and Joel Broda wear the blue and white eagle on their jerseys this season.
The special teams will certainly play a part in the decision tomorrow evening. Here, the trend among sharks has been steadily increasing over the past few weeks. During the current six-game winning streak, the power play success rate is around 30.43%. That would be the best in the league at the moment. But the Villach people also have strong statistics. With 85.42% killed power plays, the Adler league is in second place in the undernumbered statistics behind Laibach.
On Sunday, the Haie will meet the spusu Vienna Capitals again at home in the TIWAG Arena, before the international break of almost two weeks.
