		Tappara and Bern go head to head in Group E's first game on Saturday. The teams go in to the game from very different starting points. Tappara was able to get a secure win (7-3) against Stavanger in their first game. On the other hand Bern had a terrible game against Oceláři Třinec when they were beaten 7-0. Those two results indicate that Tappara would be the favorite to win Saturday's game. It is still a fact that Bern won't go down without a fight. They are a quality team and they will definately want to bounce back with a win so they will still have a chace to proceed in CHL. Tappara can't be too overconfident even though they won with a big margin in the first game. Now they face a much tougher opponent. Tappara had a rough start against Stavanger and if they let three goals before they start to get a hold of their game against Bern, just like against Stavanger, they will be in deep trouble.
