Znojmo vs Salzburg prediction

This will be an opening game for Znojmo and Salzburg of the new ice hockey season in Austria. Both teams were playing well last season and have met in the league final. Znojmo had a better start in the series but Salzburg have won the last three matches and won the series 4-2. All head-to-head games even in the league final were very high scoring, no less that six goals were scored in each of these matches including some impressive scores like Znojmo's win with the score 7-3 or Salzburg's 6-2 win. Teams were playing a high scoring ice hockey in the regular season, Znojmo have scored 157 goals in 44 games, Salzburg were the best in offense with 168. Teams met few times and also offense were dominating there, they had a head-to-head match with 13 goals scored. Znojmo had some good matches in scoring in the preseason still their defence was struggling like last year. In 4 Champions League matches they have conceded 19 goals! Salzburg played better in the Champions League, they have reached the next stage thanks to solid offense that has scored 14 goals in 4 matches still they were also conceding 3 goals per average game. Situation looks like in the previous season as the teams are better in scoring than in defence so I choose to bet on goals here.
