DEL (German hockey league) Friday 10/3

[chriscol]

record so far this season: 10-4 +5.18

Write ups on late games will come later:

Early game:

Ingolstadt- Kassel: (gametime 10 am ET): Ingolstadt to win @ 2.15

Ingolstadt right now in last place is the play today, cause of a special situation.
It's their home opener in new arena. They started the season with 6 away games and therefore their record might mislead a bit here. They are definitly not one of the top teams in league and i dont expect them to make the playoffs, but lot of extra motivation will lead them today. Also arena should be packed for first game in brand new arena.
Kassel also not one of the top teams in league is in mid of standings right now, but mainly because of home strength. in away games they are 1-3 and also there home wins against bottom teams in recent matches were all pretty close.
This is a play only based on the fact that's a emotional home opener for Ingolstadt against a opponent, which is not very strong away.

Late games (write ups later): gametime all: 1.30 pm ET

Frankfurt- Augsburg : Frankfurt to win @ 1.90
Hannover- Düsseldorf: Düsseldorf to win @ 2.4
Iserlohn - Hamburg: Hamburg to win @ 2.3

Like especially Düsseldorf and Frankfurt

CU all later and BOL with early game

Iserlohn- Hamburg: hamburg to win @ 2.3

Iserlohn going 1-4 in L5 games is a team which can win and loose to everyone depends on day-form. right now, they are cooled off a bit after a good start. they are also not particular strong at home going 2-2 and mixing good and bad showings.
Hamburg on the other hand will be for sure a play-off team this year, which is especially strong in away games this season going 3-1 against strong teams so far. i simply like the stronger team against a not so good home team as a dog tonight.

Frankfurt- Augsburg: Frankfurt @ 1.90

Frankfurt is simply amazing so far. almost relegated last season (only saved by financial collaps of other teams)turned it completely around. they got lots of new players, which are playing very well together so far and are one of the top-teams in league so far.They are red hot last 4 games winning all of them and are coming of a big away win in Köln during week.
Augsburg also got off to an unexpected strong start in season, but meanly because of great succes at home. They also come red hot in this game winning last 3, which were all at home. In away game they lost last 2 and had no real chance in these games.
I simply like the home team here to continue it's streak. Augsburg will have to adjust to away play after playing 3 in a row at home. Once they have done that, this game could already be lost.


Hannover - Düsseldorf: Düsseldorf @ 2.40

Düsseldorf expected to be one of the top teams this season (like they have been last year) got of to a terrible start. But recently they found back to old form, playing good games and also producing the right results.
Hannover lost last 4 games and got blanked twice at home during this streak. they are only 1-3 at home this season and with their recent struggles to score it will be very difficult for them to get on the board tonight against a Düsseldorf defense which is usually one of the best in league and got back to old form in last 2 weeks.
Good value with the dog here.

BTW: Ingolstadt is already 1-0 up in 1st period.

BOL to all on German ice
