The duels with the SCRJ Lakers have been tough this season. On 20 September, the EVZ suffered a 0:6 defeat at home. However, Michael Liniger’s team has already gained revenge for this slip-up. In the second meeting away from home in the St. Galler Kantonalbank Arena, it was the Zug team that netted six times to secure a 6:2 victory.

In the third Hirzel derby of the season, the first home win is now on the cards. The game is also hugely important because the Lakers are a direct competitor for the Zug team at the top of the National League table this season.

EVZ travels to Obersee with a broad chest. Rauma, Kloten and Biel have all been brought to their knees this week. Can they also win in Rapperswil? For the first time this week, Zug have to play away from home. It is the fourth game in five days.
