The worst home team in Extraliga meets the worst away team today.
Karlovy Vary are 1-0-1-4 with 13-23 goal difference at home and Litvinov are also 1-0-1-4 with 9-18 goal difference, having lost 4 of the last 5. Two of those loses came to below average teams like Kladno and Mlada Boleslav.
The only thing distinguishing the two teams today might be the good vibe in Vary's squad caused by the arrival of Salficky, Mikeska, Gawryletz and McGregor. After the troubles they had on goal with Mensator being more off than on the ice, they conveniently filled the goalie position with Dusan Salficky, a goalie with immense experience. He has around 92% saves percentage in the first few matches with the team. Michal Mikeska is today's joker in the pocket of Karlovy Vary. He arrived on a loan from Ceske Budejovice and his experience should bring some additional stability to the team. He has 36 matches for the National team. Also today should mark the debut of Canadian defender Gawryletz. McGregor will have to wait for his first appearance because he is still healing an injury.
The first match between these two (played in Litvinov) ended in a Litvinov win after shootout. Vary lead 1-0, Litvinov turned it to 3-1 in their favor but Vary showed some spirit and managed to draw to 3-3.
Pick: Karlovy Vary @2.26 (Pinnacle)
Stake: 50
Result: WON
