    Vítkovice Ostrava: Dolejs (Sindelar) – Stencel, Kudelka, Sloboda, Stich, Ceresnak, Pastor, Kovar – Szturc, Strapac, Olesz – Vandas, Balan, Kana – Zdrahal, Burger, Kucsera – Hlinka, Kolouch, Huzevka – Tomi.

    Referees: Boman (FIN), Krawinkel – Schelewski, Kowert (All GER).
     
    This match will decide, who will win group I and who will end at second place. Both teams have already qualified to the knockout stage. Math his very simple there. Both teams have 6 points. So winner takes it all. Vítkovice secured protomotion in yesterday match against Neman Grodno which ended 3:1.

    But also, it’s very difficult for Vitkovice, who must travel to Germany after the match. Two matches in two days, it’s really tough, but primary target was to advance to next round. It will be very interesting to see, how tired will be Vitkovice’s players. Mannheim is in good position, they can be optimistic, because they outplayed Vitkovice two weeks ago in Ostrava. But every match is different and both coaches know it. Approach for the game can make the difference.
