Taylor chorney.

Previous Salzburg statistics in the play-off show that the team has managed to add a 2-0 deficit in a series three times so far. Twice in the quarterfinals against Dornbirn, once in the 2010 final, the opponent was Linz. If KAC had a two-win lead, the Klagenfurt team won eleven out of twelve series.

For us, it will again be about catching Salzburg’s initial swing, standing compactly and throwing it all in every match. We are a homogeneous group, really conspired, that is the basis of our game and we will show it again on Thursday, “said the defender. Blaž Gregorc.
