Sport	Ice Hockey
Event	Iserlohn Roosters - Augsburger Panther
Selection	Iserlohn Roosters
Strength	10/10
Date	10/10/2010
Bookmaker/Price	Expekt @ 2.20
Reasoning	With only ten games played Iserlohn has already went through a six game losing streak. They snapped that streak a few games ago and have won their latest two games. The Roosters impressevely first beat Hamburg 7-3 and followed that by winning against another tough opponent Dusseldorf with a 4-7 scoreline. Iserlohns problems have been mostly on road where they have lost all but one game of six played and allowed a whopping 28 goals during those games. At home it's a different story; they've won three out five home games and their defense has been solid allowing just 16goals in those games. Augburger Panther started the season with a seven game road trip. They started well winning four out of five games but ended up losing the last two games. That losing streak has carryed on since as they just lost their three home games in a row. Usually this fixture has been Iserlohn's to win as they've done it six times out of last seven played (during the last four seasons). It won't be an easy task for Augsburg again tonight as their form suggest they've lost their touch and on the other hand the Roosters scoring seven goals in each of their last two games against tough opponents are showing improvement. I'm hoping the trends continue tonight and Iserlohn keeps up their great finishing -> should be a home win and with odds rising above evens it's a good play.

Event	ERC Ingolstadt - Adler Mannheim
Selection	ERC Ingolstadt (-1.5) (Asian-handicap)
Strength	10/10
Date	15/10/2010

Reasoning	Ingolstadt has been quite a dissapointment so far although recording seven wins from 12 games played as four of those wins have been after regulation time. On home ice they are yet to record a draw in regulation and have collected twon wins from five games. Couple of rounds ago it looked like they'd finally get their act together as they beat Eisbären 7-4 and Hannover 7-2, both games were played Ingolstadt on home ice. After that they've recorded only two wins in six games, both were on road and after regulation. At home they've lost their latest two 2-4 and 0-2. Mannheim haven't done great either recording five loses in 12 games played (one after regulation). Especially their away form is a cause for concern as they've lost all but one game of five road games so far and they have been outscored 17-8 during those games. Ingolstadt lost their latest game played 0-2 and it as on home ice aswell. I expect them to come hard to tonights match, getting blanked is never a good feeling for a home team and usually they will performance is boosted by that in the next game. Mannheim on the other hand has been awful on road and it's going to be a tough task to keep the game even tight tonight. I'll opt for the home win with a -1.5 handicap as Mannheim has lost three games on road with atleast two goals and Ingolstadt has a point to make after last rounds humiliating performance.

Event	Wolfsburg - Munchen
Selection	Munchen
Strength	10/10
Date	17/10/2010

Reasoning	Wolfsburg is coming off to tonights game with a five game winning streak as they return from their perfectly executed four game road trip. At home they've lost three games of six played (one after regulation). Munchen hasn't done so bad either as they are 2nd in the league right after Wolfsburg (although I must point out that Wolfsburg has two games less played). Munchen has done well on road so far with three wins from six games played (one after regulation). Wolfsburg is indeed in excellent form but their home form is still moderate at best. Also Munchen is not to be underestimated as they have been playing well. These teams met once this season with Munchen hosting and Wolfsburg taking the points 1-3. Maybe the league leaders get a bit too cocky returning to home ice after winning four straight on road? Maybe. Munchen has a bone to pick with them and I'm sure the visitors are going to give it their best to win this one. Bottom line is that the away win odds within regulation have risen too high and offer value, there is not such a big difference between the teams.
