Visiting Lower Saxony: Red Bulls challenged by the Grizzlys// DEL - PREVIEWOn Friday evening, EHC Red Bull München will face Grizzlys Wolfsburg (7:30 pm | live on MagentaSport, Sportdeutschland.TV and on our blog). It is the second meeting between the two clubs this DEL season. The first game has a permanent place in our club history.

We beat the team from Lower Saxony 7:4 in front of a sold-out crowd.

Rieder's special moment against Wolfsburg
Tobias Rieder will also always remember this day. After many years abroad, the Landshut native scored his first DEL goal at the age of 31. He has scored six more goals since then. On Friday, our striker wants to add to his tally in Wolfsburg.

After Sunday's 4-1 loss in Mannheim, Rieder explained how the Red Bulls want to get back on track after their last two games without a win: “We have to get more shots on goal and then score dirty goals.”
Weitzmann with strong stats
Wolfsburg's defense will naturally want to prevent this. In goal, coach Mike Stewart is relying on the rotation principle this season. Challenger Hannibal Weitzmann has the better statistics compared to Dustin Strahlmeier. He has saved a strong 92.2 percent of all shots to date - almost three and a half percent more than Strahlmeier.
Grizzlys scorers: The usual suspects
When it comes to the outfield players, the Grizzlys are relying on the framework that has worked in recent years. The key players already played in Wolfsburg last season. Only one newcomer, Phil Varone, is among the top nine point scorers.
The forward, who came from Düsseldorf EG, has 15 points. The list is headed by Spencer Machacek (21 points), who is one of the absolute leading players in the Lower Saxony team. The best German scorer is Luis Schinko with 15 points.
Alarm in the second period
The Grizzlys are particularly aggressive in the middle period. No team has scored as many goals in the second period as Wolfsburg. Stewart's team scored 30 times - as many as in the first and last period combined.
So far, things have gone much better at home than away: Wolfsburg have picked up 20 of their 30 points at home. The defense has been like a bank there recently: only five goals conceded in the last four home games is an outstanding figure.

High-scoring duels
However, when Wolfsburg and Munich meet, a lot of goals are almost guaranteed - at least that's what a look at the recent past shows. In the last five duels, a total of 40 goals have been scored, an average of eight goals per game, with the better end for us in each case. The aim on Friday is to win the sixth game in a row against the Grizzlys.
