In this confrontation, there will be a preference for performance, or rather, goals for both clubs. The Austrians will cling to an unexpected opportunity to break into the playoffs, especially at home the hosts score on a regular basis.
Guests have injuries to key defenders, but everything is in order with the leaders of the attack. Guests cannot lose points in this pair either, otherwise they will miss the first line in the group.
