Orli Znojmo vs Fribourg-Gotteron.
A point tonight will be enough to put Fribourg-Gotteron through to the Round of 32 as they travel to Znojmo. The Czech side have lost both of their games so far, and play their final home group game ahead of visiting Munich next week in the group's final match.
"We told ourselves before the first game at Fribourg that we can't afford any individual mistakes, yet we still made them. Of course, an opponent of such quality is going to take advantage. We have to be alert and give our best again on Sunday," said Znojmo head coach Jiri Reznar. "I felt we had good spells of play when we managed to put our opponent under pressure. The guys were disappointed on Thursday, but we got some energy back again and we will be ready."
Veteran defenceman Andre Lakos added, "At the end of the day, they were the better team in the first game, but we will do our best on Sunday in front of our fans and hope for first points. We must get rid of the cheap mistakes that could cost us."
Fribourg's Roman Cervenka will attract a lot of attention in this game, not only because he's playing in his native Czech Republic, but also because he was recently named to the Czech national team that will compete in the World Cup of Hockey later this month.
