PENNY DEL Preview: Red Bull München welcomes the Augsburg Panthers

Friday, 22. November 2024 | PENNY DEL Preview: Red Bull München welcomes the Augsburg Panthers

Derby dance in front of a sold-out crowd: Red Bulls want to go one better against Augsburg// DEL - PREVIEWAfter the commanding 3:0 win in Iserlohn, a derby awaits EHC Red Bull München in the sold-out SAP Garden. On Saturday evening (19:00), we will once again welcome the Augsburg Panthers.

Those who were unable to get a ticket will be able to watch the match live on MagentaSport, Sportdeutschland.TV and on our blog.

There have been no victories against the Fuggerstädter recently, as the visitors have won the last four duels. Our boys are therefore eager for the next encounter. “We're looking forward to the game and a really good atmosphere. We've definitely still got a score to settle with Augsburg and want to make sure we keep the points in Munich,” announced Yasin Ehliz. Once again, 10,796 spectators will flock to the SAP Garden, making it the sixth time that our new home venue has been sold out. Due to a parallel event in the Olympiapark, the parking lots in the Parkharfe are expected to be very full. We therefore recommend traveling by public transport. With a valid and personalized Red Bulls day ticket, you can use public transport in the MVV network (zone M-6) free of charge to travel to and from the SAP Garden.

“Have realized that we have to be better”

If the Red Bulls defend as concentrated as they did on Thursday evening against the Iserlohn Roosters (3:0), they have a good chance of scoring three points on Saturday. We hardly conceded anything in the Sauerland and a strong Mathias Niederberger earned his second shutout of the season with 17 saves.

Outnumbering and short-handed also worked well. While the Red Bulls scored twice in the power play, nothing was on fire with one man less on the ice. “We analyzed the last few games and knew we had to be better. And you could see that. What's important now is that we keep doing that,” said our goalkeeper after the success in Sauerland.

The Panthers in crisis

The team of coach Max Kaltenhauser, who will return behind the boards after his dental surgery, will not give the Augsburg forwards much time and space. In any case, the Panthers currently have problems in offense. In the last five games, the AEV has only scored eight goals and conceded 20. Things didn't go any better in the games before that, however, as our guests travel to the Bavarian capital with eight straight defeats. After a good start to the season, Augsburg have recently slipped further and further down the table. On Thursday, they narrowly lost 2:1 at the Grizzlys Wolfsburg.

Top defender Schemitsch suspended

To make matters worse, top scoring defenseman Thomas Schemitsch (four goals) is still suspended for two games due to a major penalty including a game-misconduct penalty. However, Cody Kunyk is on board. The summer addition is dangerous at all times and has already recorded 15 scoring points. D.J. Busdeker (six goals) also knows where the opposition's box is. In recent weeks, however, the US-American has been unable to score. Goalkeeper Strauss Mann has also been unable to keep up the great performances from the first few weeks of this season.

Even if coach Ted Dent's team is going through difficult times again, we have been warned by the last encounters alone. In any case, the Red Bulls want to go into the next two home games against Schwenningen (get your tickets now) and Nuremberg (get your tickets now) with a derby triumph behind them.
