After three wins in a row – including the first home success against the Pioneers Vorarlberg – the next challenge is waiting for the EC IDM heat pumps VSV: Hydro Fehérvár AV19 is guesting in the “Adlerhorst” this Sunday (start of the game: 6:00 p.m.). The blue-whites want to celebrate their fourth victory en suite against the Hungarians.
The EC IDM heat pumps VSV is currently presenting itself in a strong form: With three wins in a series – 8: 3 in Linz, 4: 3 at the title favorite in Graz and 5: 2 against Vorarlberg – the “Adler” is currently ranked 4th in the table. From seven games they won 13 points in 4 wins, 2 defeats and an overtime defeat, with a goal difference of +2 (24:22). The situation at Hydro Fehérvár AV19 looks very different: The Hungarians recently collected three defeats in a row against Graz (4: 9), Ljubljana (2: 3) and Pustertal (1: 3) and are currently in 10 points from six games (there are 2 wins, 3 defeats, 1 overtime defeat). Incidentally, the goal difference is -10 (13:23).
Tension traditionally guaranteed
The direct duel is traditionally exciting: in the last five encounters, Feiervár won three times, the VSV twice. Over the last ten games, however, the balance is balanced in five wins for each team. Particularly noteworthy: The last home game in the “Adlerhorst” on January 1, 2025 ended after penalty shooting 5: 4 in favor of Villacher.
Cannata back – Hutchison continued out out
The gate will be guarding Joe Cannata today, who again replaces Rene Swette, who gave a great season debut. “I am pleased for him that he played well. He also had no easy last year, so much was injured,” Coach Tuomie told the “Kleine Zeitung”. Nor is Nick Hutchison, who trained again after his finger break, but should only become an issue against Innsbruck next Saturday.
