CHampions League: Red Bull München welcome EV Zug
Our Red Bulls start on Tuesday at 19:30 with the home match against the Swiss champion EV Zug (live on the blog of our app). Both clubs have built up a sporting rivalry in recent years through four intense duels.

Our team landed the decisive victories, but now the cards are reshuffled. The respect is huge on both sides. "We know how good Zug is and that they can play great field hockey," says Munich coach Don Jackson. His Zug colleague Dan Tangnes returns the flowers, saying "Munich is one of the best teams in Europe."

The big number in Switzerland
Zug is the big number in Swiss ice hockey this decade. In the past two years, the team from the canton of the same name won the championship - most recently extremely dramatic: because in the best-of-seven final series 2022 against the ZSC Lions, the EVZ was already behind 0:3, before he turned the series with four wins in a row. Zug, like the Red Bulls, relies on its own young talent and has created an excellent development program with "The Hockey Academy" - just like our club with the Red Bull Eishockey Akademie.
Master Genoni and his Nati colleagues - in Europe it's going
The EV Zug stormed through the group stage and took 17 of 18 possible points against the Grizzlys Wolfsburg, TPS Turku and Olimpija Ljubljana. In the domestic National League, the club, which is used to success, is in fifth place, having won all of its last four games. Interesting: Zug conceded 3.3 goals per game in the current season in the Swiss elite league, although with Leonardo Genoni one of the best goalkeepers in Switzerland is between the posts.
The 35-year-old goalkeeper has haxed his teams (Davos, Bern, Zug) to seven national championship titles, five times he was voted the best goalkeeper in the league. While the Zugers travel to Munich today, Monday, Genoni, Tobias Geisser, Grégory Hofmann, Sven Senteler and Dario Simion join the team directly from Finland. There, the national players participated with Switzerland in the Karjala Cup - and were second behind Sweden and ahead of the Czech Republic and Finland.
Home victory is missing: Red Bulls want to cheer at home
The Red Bulls know that they can beat the strong Zugers. Twice we have already succeeded in the premier league. Last season, we won 6:1 in Zug on the last matchday of the group stage in a game with final character. The win meant we overtook EVZ to move into the round of 16 in second place, and the competition was over for the Swiss. We also prevailed in the 2018/19 round of 16 after a 3-2 home defeat because we responded with a 2-0 win in the second leg. What's still missing is a home win in this duel. And that's what captain Patrick Hager & Co. want to bring in on Tuesday at Oberwiesenfeld.
