Red Bulls want to extend series lead in first home gameLucas Thaler: “We have to show at home that we can play even better”// win2day ICE Hockey League | PlayoffsEC Red Bull Salzburg will play their second game in the playoff final of the win2day ICE Hockey League tomorrow, Sunday, at home against EC-KAC (5:30 pm, Puls 24) and want to immediately follow up yesterday's away win in front of their home crowd. As expected, the two teams met at eye level and did not give each other anything for more than three periods yesterday before the Red Bulls were lucky enough to secure their first win in the 69th minute. The Red Bulls are also preparing for an evenly matched play-off game tomorrow in Salzburg (the game is sold out), but are determined to make the most of home advantage. Salzburg are 1-0 up in the best-of-seven series.
Next home game of the Red Bulls

Highlights 1. final game EC-KAC vs. Red Bulls
Initial situation
Laws in the series? Are difficult to discern between Salzburg and Klagenfurt. In the basic round, the Red Bulls were unable to win in Klagenfurt; yesterday's first final game was completely different, where the Red Bulls - as in last year's final series - 'stole' the home advantage in the series in Klagenfurt. In contrast to the previous season, the Red Bulls now want to be successful again in the first final home game, but are equally prepared for a fight to the death.
Of great importance is the defense, with which the Red Bulls held their own against the dangerous Klagenfurt powerplay yesterday in Klagenfurt.
Evenly matched lines
Just how evenly matched both teams are is also shown by the balance in the lines. Even though the top lines have been responsible for the majority of goals scored throughout the season, each line is capable of putting pressure on the opposition and scoring. The first two goals in yesterday's game, Klagenfurt's Finn van Ee and Salzburg's Mario Huber, were scored by forwards who - at least on paper - were on the fourth line.
Statement Lucas Thaler
“We definitely have more in the tank than we showed yesterday, but we have to put that into practice at home. Every win in the series is very important and we're preparing for the second game in the best possible way. We'll continue to rely on our strengths and keep working patiently.”
