Ricoh made it very clear that their game will be defense oriented. Their games never ended at 50 or more goals, not even with Savenhof and Hammarby, teams that prefer faster pace. 49 and 48 goals were score in those games. This is the derby of the bottom part of the table, and defense is the main focus of the home team. They think this is their opportunity to end their four-game losing streak. But, they're not worried about their offense efficiency yet because 6 new players joined and they believe the efficiency will take some time. On the other hand we have Redbergslids, the team that don't like fast-pace games either. Guif forced them into running in the last round, but the total number of goals was 53 regardless. The visiting team barely went over this margin in that faster pace game, and they now play an even slower team. They think that goal keeper and defense can be the key to their win today. Heeringson and Thulin are 3rd and 7th best goal keepers in the season so far, while Ricoh's Forsberg holds position 11. Both teams are league's leader when it comes to defense, but offenses remain among the least efficient ones. I think they will have a hard time scoring 50 goals today, it will be good if they manage to score 45 given the pace and the preferences of both teams. Details

Both teams' games were unders last two rounds, which explains this margin. They played Alingsas and Ricoh, two very tough defenses, who didn't engage in outrunning with Savehof and Hammarby as the opponent wanted. These opponents, however, like to engage in outrunning (fast pace will be more than welcome on both sides). It's not surprising they easily went over this margin against other similar teams. Their games with Guif ended at 57 and 58 goals, with Skovde at 59 and 69. Hammarby managed to get the game at 57 goals even against RIK, who try their best to slow the pace down. I think that this game, since both teams prefer faster pace, will end with the total number of goals closer to 60; not even a few over that number would be surprising. Details

Graz were regarded as the weakest team in the Austrian Bundesliga even before the start of the season and two opening rounds only went to prove it. They've done the season opener in Oberwart quite well (and lost regardless), but the meeting home against Gussingen that followed in the second round saw them lose by staggering 78 points. It is a team that could not even beat one of Slovenia's top league clubs home. They will need time to get organized because they got together quite late, and struggle with some absences. Swans Gmunden are, next to Kapfenberg and Gussing, top candidates for the title. Following the opening win over Arkadia away by 18 points, they left Oberwart just as many points behind in the last round. The last win could have been even more convincing since they dominated throughout the game. Oberwart beat Graz by 11 points. It's obvious that the visiting team are better, but they say they won't be underestimating the opponent today. Expecting anything but a new defeat for Graz today would not be normal. Details
