Preview: Tornado Luxembourg faces lower ranked Gaulois Chalons

06 December 2013

On Saturday in the Patinoire Kockelscheuer in Luxembourg, the Tornado Luxembourg will host the Gaulois Chalons. It will without a doubt not be easy for any of both, as the Tornado Luxembourg are 3rd in the standings while their opponent is currently 4th.



The Tornado Luxembourg haven't been very successful in front of the home crowd so far, as they lost 67% of the games in their own building, and on the other side, the Gaulois Chalons have been quite successful on the road so far, as they won 67% of their away games. The Gaulois Chalons have won 7 out of the last 9 games against the Tornado Luxembourg. But the Gaulois Chalons want to take vengeance after having lost the last matchup 2-11.



In their last run-out, the Tornado Luxembourg lost against Valenciennes, 1-2, in a game that saw Marcus Eriksson and Bob Schneider score 1 points each. In the meantime, the Gaulois Chalons want to secure a victory after their 2-6 loss to Deuil-Garges.



Players to keep an eye on right now are Marcus Eriksson, Bob Schneider and Gilles Biver from the Tornado Luxembourg, as well as Julien Delaunois, Marek Hanes and Arnaud Briand from the Gaulois Chalons, as they have called attention to themselves during the past few games.



A win is crucial for both teams, as it might temporarily secure a playoff spot. But in a season like this, every win is important, so be prepared to see a hard fought game. Which team will get the job done in your opinion?
