Monday, 09. December 2024 | PENNY DEL Preview: EHC Red Bull München welcomes the Straubing Tigers

Next derby: Red Bulls await the Straubing Tigers at SAP Garden// DEL - PREVIEWThe next home derby for EHC Red Bull Munich is already scheduled for Tuesday. The Straubing Tigers will be the guests at 7:30 pm. Tickets for the early game on matchday 27 are still available.

The derby against the Tigers is all about “After Work”: the offer for your office team can be booked for five or more people. Anyone who takes advantage of the offer receives one free drink per person.

Munich and Straubing are currently neighbors in the table, with the Red Bulls in sixth place with one game less and five points ahead of the seventh-placed Lower Bavarians. With a home win, we want to give a quick response to Sunday's derby against Ingolstadt (0:4) and keep up with the teams ahead of us in the PENNY DEL. “It's purely a mental thing. We just have to play our game for 60 minutes and then we'll be successful again,” said Konrad Abeltshauser, looking ahead to Tuesday. Because that's when the next opportunity presents itself.

// DEL - INTERVIEW

Tigers in search of form

Straubing have collected just three points in their last five games, conceding 17 goals in the process. On Sunday, coach Tom Pokel's team narrowly lost 3:4 against the Eisbären Berlin, and before that 0:3 in Mannheim. Both games against top teams were close, but no points were scored.

33 outnumbering situations unused Top scorer Taylor Leier (four goals, 14 assists) has also had no impact on his team's play in recent weeks. The Canadian has only recorded one assist since November 24. And because his teammates also struggled to score goals, it was rarely enough to score in combination with the recently fragile defense. Danjo Leonhardt, for example, who is currently the top scorer with eight goals, has only scored once in the last nine matches. The engine is also faltering in the powerplay. Our guests have failed to score in 33 overtime situations in the past ten games.

Red Bulls aim for first home win

In the two duels between Munich and Straubing so far this season, the visitors have prevailed on both occasions, with Chris DeSousa among the goalscorers in both games. The Red Bulls won 6:2 at the Tigers at the end of September, and the Lower Bavarians turned the tables in mid-November (5:2). Now the points should stay with the home team for the first time.
