Today at 7 p.m. the Swabians will meet the glorious DEG in the PSD Bank Dome in Düsseldorf. After two ghost games in a row, Daniel Naud’s team is back in front of spectators in the Rhineland today. Up to 5,000 spectators can watch the Düsseldorf games. Among them there will also be a few fans of the Steelers – we wish all fans a good trip.

Like us, DEG surprised on Friday. In Mannheim they won 4-2. With 39 points after 25 games they are in 7th place in the table. The Swabians won the first game of the two clubs in Bietigheim in October 5-2 – a result that would be outstanding even today. Until then, it will be a very difficult 60 minutes.
The top scorer and scorer is Brendan O’Donnel, with 14 goals and 12 assists. Daniel Fischbuch is in second place with 18 points (five goals). With Alex Barta, Alex Ehl and Tobias Eder, there are other strong players on the offensive. In defense, Marco Nowak, Bernhard Ebner and Kyle Cumiskey are very experienced players. Mirko Pantkowski and Hendrik Hane form the duo in the goal.
With the special teams, DEG plays an immensely dangerous power play. With a success rate of 24.36% you are one of the best teams in the league. If you are outnumbered, you are on the road with 75.36%.
On Friday, the guys around captain Constantin Braun won against Munich thanks to a solid team performance – this has to be confirmed today, then something is possible in Düsseldorf too!
