European Ice Hockey - OCT 2011

[WeakestLink]

DRAW , 4.40 pinnacle , 10units Ceske Budejovice will host Vitkovice in this round of the Czech Extraliga . Ceske Budejovice won three games at home and lost just one game . They won 4 : 3 against Trinec , 3 : 2 against Slavia Prague , 4 : 2 against Plzen , and lost 1 : 3 against Sparta Prague . Vitkovice on road won two times and lost once . They lost against Plzen 4 : 3 after over time . They won 6 : 0 against Liberec , and won 3 : 2 against Karlovy Vary also after playing over time . So Vitkovice already played over time matches on road this season and they are maybe up for another over time win today . Last season as well as the season before these two teams played a total of four over time mutual matches . Since Vitkovice bases their play on good defending more than good attacking they could have the most matches that went to over time by the end of the season .

Re: European Ice Hockey - OCT 2011 DRAW , 4.40 bwin , 10units Hameenlinna and Kalpa Kuopio played a lot of matches that went overtime in past three seasons. 9 matches in past three seasons went overtime , and there are good chances that will be the case today as well. Hameenlinna at home won once ( 6:3 against Turku PS ) , won once overtime ( 2:1 against Karpat ) , and lost two games in a row ( 1:4 against Lahti Pelicans and 1:4 against Lukko Raume ). Kalpa Kuopio won twice on road ( 2:0 against JYP Jyvaskyla , 4:1 against Saipa ) , lost once iafter overtime ( 2:1 against Karpat ) , and lost against Jokerit Helsinki 4:0. So , both teams lost their last two matches. Hameenlinna have better attack but Kalpa hve better defense so they could level out today in a matchup of two pretty close teams in terms of quality of playing squad. DRAW , 4.75 bet365 , 10units JYP-Akatemia is a good team at home and they are favourites to win today against K-Laser. They won both of their mutual meetings at home last season. But since K-Laser had some good performances recently and they are playing a lot of overtime matches I'll have to go for a small surprise here. K-Laser played four overtime mathces so far this season , and three of those four came when they were underdogs , just like they are today. Both teams have similar attacks / defences so this should be a close game and maybe decided in the final 5-10 minutes. DRAW , 4.64 10bet , 10units Two bottm table teams will decide who is better today . Jesenice and Znojmo won a total of 7 points so far this season. Jesenice won just one match as well as Znojmo , which is awful performance in any league. But this is the jesenice way , they have a poor start and a good finish of every season in past three seasons. Znojmo is a new team in this league and I expected more from them , maybe even to challenge for title , but they are nowhere close that level. But since both teams are having trouble scoring goals and Jesenice is underperforming this could go to overtime. Maybe even with a 1:1 score at the end of regular time.
