Statement Lucas Thaler
Starting position
The Red Bulls are also the favorites ahead of the third quarter-final match against Székesfehérvár, having won all six of their matches this season, including the last round of the basic competition. The Salzburg team can therefore also be confident in their next play-off clash with the Hungarians, having won the last two games by a minimal margin of just one goal, but as the better team in terms of play, which is also reflected in the 65:43 shots on goal ratio over both games.
The Hungarians are therefore already under a lot of pressure, especially as they have to play away again and find it much more difficult in Salzburg than at home. However, the Red Bulls are expecting a combative Hungary who will try everything they can to throw the Red Bulls off their stride. The Salzburg team already felt this toughness in their last game on Tuesday in Székesfehérvár, especially in the first period; the Hungarians could go one better in Salzburg.
Salzburg have an advantage in the playoffs
The Red Bulls have already won all three playoff series against Székesfehérvár in recent years, and this time they are already 2-0 up after two games. The Red Bulls have never lost a playoff game (8) against the Hungarians in the Eisarena Salzburg. In addition, the Red Bulls have won the last 11 playoff games against Székesfehérvár in a row.

Statement from Lucas Thaler
“A 2:0 lead in the series is great, of course, but the job isn't finished yet. Playing in front of your own crowd is always an advantage and we're highly motivated for the third game. The games so far have been very structured. We want to come with even more drive on goal so that we can score more goals. And be ready for an opponent who wants to avoid a third defeat and will play very hard.”
