KAC v Graz 99ers Kac a powerhouse this season, and most importantly at their home ice. They are playing great and have excellent goal differnce of 37-13. Latest home vicitm were league leaders jesenice which were blown off the KAC ice with 7-2. Graz have loads of prior KAC players in their squad ( Franz Wilfan, Harald Lange, Anthony Iob, Philipp Winzig and Philippe Michael Horskyand) that could be a small edge for them, but imo not enough, KAC simply put, the better teams this season, they are far better when it comes to power plays 22% to 10% of Graz and despite this handicap is huge at this level i simply cant see Graz threatening KAC today. Also Graz was awful so far in away games, with 8-22 goal difference and their latest performances really dont promise anything good for them today. Imo 3 to 4 goal win for KAC should be the just results at the end. First game this season, Graz lost at home with 5-2. KAC -2 @ 1.81 Pinnacle BW Linz v EC Pasut VSV Linz one of the better teams when roster is in question. They made some excellent signings in this years post season, but results were at the start awful. Bad playing, bad goalitending, everything seemed doomed for them. But as in all cases, all things come to right place. And currently Linz are surely one of the best teams in league, with no injury worries and with mentioned strong roster. Win against red hot salzburg week ago in away game only confirms that. VSV also complete- one missing to be precise, but that wont affect this game, but surely not in that goo mementum as Linz. So everything speaks for Linz to win it, they found the rhytm and selfconficence, they are playing at home and have surely the better team as VSV does. And one more intersting thing, when the league started, and Linz was playing awful, they still achieved away win in Villach, where they beat VSV with 4-2. I give them more than 60% to win this one today, hence these odds represent big value. BW Linz @ 1.90 Unibet

Re: Eurohockey 24.10. Slavia v Vitkovice Imo too big handicap at this moment for this kind of Vitkovice team. Sure, looking only at previous games these two teams played in the past, Slavia have a huge upper hand and lost last game against Vitkovice in Prague in year 2001. But Vitkovice this year one of the best teams in league, second placed, just behind Slavia and quality spread between those two aint that big anymore. Also Slavia had a hard week behind them, fistrly a champions league game and Prauge derby against Sparta. And theysurely lost loads of energy in these two important games, also Kadlec was injured in last game and will miss todays clash. Vitkovice could prepare themselces in peace for this fixture and as far as i could see, they have no major injury issues. An even game this one and hcap of one goal is imo a must take. Vitkovice +1 @ 1.89 Pinnacle
