VEU Feldkirch and EHC Lustenau invite you to the third major Vorarlberg derby of the season on Tuesday 17th in the history of the Alps Hockey League. In return game 2, VEU prevailed with a total score of 6: 4. In the first leg, EHC celebrated a 4: 3 victory, in the second leg, VEU did not let anything burn with the 3: 0 shutout win. League top scorer Jakob Stukel (26 points – 13G / 13A) scored twice in the second leg. Looking at the table, a derby looms at eye level. Both teams have 17 points and are fifth (VEU) and six (EHC). Lustenau has already played three more games than Feldkirch. VEU is strong as a bear at home. In six of the last seven home games, they left the ice as winners. Lustenau could only win two of the last six away games. In terms of scoring efficiency, Feldkirch is clearly ahead of Lustenau. At 11.87%, the VEU is at the top of the league. The EHC occupies only 15th place in this ranking with 6.87%.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, the traditional derby against EHC Lustenau will take place at the Vorarlberghalle in Feldkirch. After the return to the games, it is the third meeting of the Ländle competitors. Both teams were able to celebrate a victory in their own halls. The VEU took the points from this miniseries to the table because the goal difference spoke for the Montfortstadt team. At that time, a limited number of viewers was allowed. This time the derby goes completely without spectators due to Corona’s restrictions. Which is a very unusual situation for both players and fans of ice hockey.

In addition to the economic losses suffered by the clubs, the lack of excitement of the fans in the room is likely to be a very unusual and certainly undesirable condition for the players. However, a derby is not always a normal game for the EHC and VEU cracks, but rather a derby.

In terms of squad, Lampert’s squad should be able to compete almost entirely from today’s perspective, with the exception of the injured Patrick Stückler and Dominik Unterweger, who is in action with the U-20 team. EHC Lustenau has expanded their staff since the last time they met. With Zintis Nauris Zusevics, a Latvian striker with an Austrian passport and returnees Philipp Winzig are new to the sticker team. Legionnaire Chris D’Alvise is also on board again.

Lustenau is the favorite on paper, which is not usually a factor in a Länderby. The little famous things will probably decide again. If you believe the statistics, the VEU has the best game outnumbered, but the EHC has a very heavy penalty. Both teams also have very strong goalkeepers who can decide matches. A clear difference can only be seen in the efficiency of scoring. There, the VEU is at the top of the league, while the EHC lags behind here. But these are all numbers games and what counts is the fight of 60 minutes or more that the ice hockey cracks will fight on the ice.
