This is important game for both teams. Zlin have no three point win in last four games and only one in last seven. They are now on fourth position in table because of this. Třinec is already second in table and there is another chance to reach first place in table this season for the first time.

Zlin had lost both games at home last week and they will try do win because of fans, too. Home coach expects very offensive game because of offensive style of Třinec who added before this season 12 new players to the roster. For home team there will be missing defenceman Lukáš Galvas.

Away team will have to play withouth Balej and Anderson. They are already best team on road, but in Zlin there is same roster for years with good knowledge of mates in team about each other on the ice. That is the reason why Zlin is at the top of the league.

Home team can use its strenght in powerplays at home as well and patience when they are playing difficult games (lot of games Zlin won when scored only 2-3 goals). Most of the head-to-head results Zlin won at home in regular time, but first matchup this season Třinec won at home 4-2.
