Statement Luca Auer
Starting position
The Red Bulls have won the two meetings with the Vienna Capitals so far this season, but these games took place some time ago. In the last nine rounds - until yesterday's game in Linz - the Red Bulls have alternated between victories and defeats, partly due to a squad that has been constantly reduced due to injuries and rejuvenated with academy players. Yesterday, the Salzburgers once again put in a compact team performance against the strong Upper Austrians and were rewarded with a well-deserved three points for the second time in a row.
The Red Bulls will be looking to replicate this performance against the Vienna Capitals, who have lost their last two games but were only beaten in the final stages. Yesterday at home against Klagenfurt it was 4:4 before the Carinthians pulled away. On the last matchday of the old year, the Caps conceded the fourth goal against Ljubljana in the 59th minute, an empty-net goal then sealed the 3:5 defeat. Only before that, in the games around the Christmas holidays, the Viennese won against the two top teams in the league, Bolzano and Székesfehérvár.
Balanced squad
Apart from the two outliers Zane Franklin and Jeremy Gregoire with 13 and 12 goals respectively, the offensive qualities of the Viennese are spread across six other players who have scored between 7 and 4 goals. In total, the Caps have scored 76 times in 32 games.
The Red Bulls' goals are also homogeneously distributed from the two top scorers Peter Schneider and Benjamin Nissner with 12 goals each to a further 10 players who have scored between 11 and 4 goals. However, the fourth-placed Red Bulls have scored a total of 112 goals, significantly more than the Capitals.

Statement Luca Auer
“The win yesterday in Linz was important, especially because it was a real team success. We've won two games in a row again after a long time and now we want to keep it up. In other words, play hard and act as a team. And we need a good start, because the games against Vienna are always close.”
