Saturday, 20. January 2024 | DEL preview: EHC Red Bull München hosts Pinguins Bremerhaven

Leaders of the table as guests: Red Bulls welcome BremerhavenFamily match day against the Penguins// DEL - PRELIMINARY REPORTOn the 40th matchday of the PENNY DEL, EHC Red Bull München will receive a visit from the far north. On Sunday afternoon at 4:30 pm, we face the league leaders from Bremerhaven (live on MagentaSport & on our blog).

After a perfect start to the new year with three wins in a row, the last few games have gone anything but to plan from Munich's perspective. "We simply have to get out of the zone better and not let things get so bad at the back," summarized Maximilian Daubner after the derby in Augsburg (3:4). "We had recovered, but now we've dug ourselves a hole again. But we're positive that we'll get out of it," said our defender. Preferably already on Sunday against Bremerhaven!

2024 not yet at full speed

Coach Thomas Popiesch's team won eight games in a row in December. However, the Penguins were unable to take this strong run into the new year. Three wins in the 2024 calendar year are offset by three defeats, with Bremerhaven winning 2:1 at Adler Mannheim on Friday evening. Nevertheless, they remain top of the PENNY DEL table.

The team is a force to be reckoned with away from home in particular; only Berlin are even better on the road. They also have an extremely compact defense, which is currently the best in the DEL with just 87 goals conceded.

Top trio around Urbas, Jeglic and Conrad

The offense is once again led by two familiar faces. Jan Urbas and Ziga Jeglic once again stand out from the attack and are good for goals in every situation. In mid-December, coach Popiesch cut the infamous "Karawanken Express" around the Slovenian trio of Urbas, Jeglic and Miha Verlic.

In place of Verlic, Colt Conrad has been in the first forward formation in recent weeks. The Canadian only joined the team in mid-October, but found his feet in Germany straight away. The dangerous right winger has already scored in double figures. The aim is to stop this streak on Sunday.
