Five of Alba's important players are out, and that influences their performance on ice a great deal. No surprise at four back-to-back losses, and them playing badly both ways. As for the offense, two key players are missing, Banham and Saurer, as well as Bartalis. Two standard defensivemen who play a lot in every match are missing from the defense, Brocklehurst and Orban. They only had five defensivemen in the last duel in Salzburg, and conceded six goals (five in two previous ones). The coach is complaining, too, saying there's not much they can do right now. On the other side, we have one of the strongest teams of the league, Linz with Da Silva and McLean who'll try to dethrone Slazburg. Even if the home team were complete, the guests would still be the better team, so no doubt who'll be the boss today. With all that, the guests are in a great form, with three wins in the last four duels, and one point from the great duel against Vienna. This away match will be easy-peasy for them, they won two out of three matches here convincingly last year.
