Our tip: Karlovy Vary – Liberec: 1

16.02.2025 16:00

The forty-sixth round of the Hockey Extraliga will see the sixth-placed Karlovy Vary and the eleventh-placed Liberec. The White Tigers are better off in their three matches of the current season, having won one point more than their Sunday opponent.

After a 6:4 home win over Litvínov, Energie also won 3:1 in Vítkovice on Friday. The caution of both teams, the evenness of the match, practically everything indicated that the match would be decided in overtime. However, Jiří Černoch decided the game two and a half minutes before the end and scored three points. The valuable victory means that the West Bohemians are now only two points behind the elite four. Before the win over Litvínov, Karlovy Vary did not have a good record at home, losing five games in a row.

Liberec, after winning 3:2 after overtime in Pilsen, lost 3:5 at home to Kladno on Friday. Although the White Tigers outshot their opponent thanks to 17 attempts on goal in the third period, their performance was not good at all. The duel was decided by power plays and two missed penalty shots by the home team. While Filip Pešán’s charges were unable to take advantage of any of the six power plays, the opponent scored three times on the power play. Liberec will have to return to the more dedicated performance of the previous games. The table has become much more complicated, with the White Tigers only five points ahead of the last place team.

What to bet on:

Karlovy Vary looked much better than Liberec in the last two rounds. We’re picking one on the ticket at good odds.

Confidence:

7/10
