After the statement win at the Salzburg Ducks last weekend, head coach Ivan Zivko’s team has to play away again. This Saturday we’re going to Linz to see the Steelsharks Traun, with the Vikings going into the game as favorites.
The Steelsharks Traun, who are in the middle of the table, come to Linz with a win from the last game at the SWARCO Raiders Tirol and were able to keep up well in the game against the Thalheim Graz Giants for a long time. Therefore, the team from Upper Austria will not have to hide from the Vikings. “With the Steelsharks, we now have a motivated opponent waiting for us, of course, who played very well in the last two games.” also knows Ivan Zivko. The Trauners have signed an interesting man for the 2023 season in the playmaker position, Slade Jarman. He played eight games in the ELF for the Wroclaw Panthers last season. His passing game is particularly strong this season. “With they will test us with their good pass attack”, expects Coach Zivko from the Steelshark side.
For the Vikings, after the resounding victory in Salzburg and their almost certain place in the playoffs, it’s about taking part home law to go into this. “That must be the goal!” says the head coach. Until then, however, it says three more times: give everything And the first step has to be taken on Saturday in Traun. After the performance of the Men in Purple last Sunday, a victory for Linz would be a big surprise. Another aspect that makes this game special is the past of many of our players in Upper Austria or with the Steelsharks. For example, our offensive line coach, Daniel Brandmayr, was on the field for the Steelsharks himself during his playing career and has developed into a national team player there. Therefore let it be emotional game for one or the other Viking and on it rejoice the team for a long time, says coach Zivko.
