As in the previous season, KOS is among the main outsiders. The roster is not particularly different from last year's, so we should not expect any significant progress. In the preseason, an experienced coach came to the team who can help young players, but this will not change the situation much.
Vienna is in a different situation. They were among the leaders a year ago, but now the roster has almost completely changed because of financial problems. The core comprises players born in 2005-2006, which makes them uncompetitive even against average teams. The start of the season only confirms these fears, as major defeats come one after another.
These are the two worst teams in the competition, where the hosts look underestimated. The handicap is too big in a match where only juniors play against them.
Our prediction: KOS not to lose heavily. We recommend the “1 Hand (+15.5)” bet, odds 1.73
