Fribourg-Gotteron host Frolunda Gothenburg needing to pull off what would be arguably the biggest shock ever in the CHL if they wish to advance further.

See highlights, statistics and a recap of the first game here.

Despite starting well in Gothenburg last week and matching their hosts for a good 25 minutes, Fribourg eventually went down 5-1 to defending champions Frolunda, for whom a three-goal defeat would still be good enough to book their place in the Final for a third successive year.

Although they have a healthy cushion heading to Switzerland, Frolunda are wary of the Fribourg threat.

"It is not over yet. The result in the first game did not reflect the game," warned Frolunda assistant coach Par Johansson. "Fribourg is an unpredictible team with many offensively skilled players, such as Roman Cervenka and Julien Sprunger. We expect them to come out hard, as they did in the first game of the CHL Semi-Finals."

Since last week's first game, Frolunda have played only one SHL game, losing to fellow CHL Semi-Finalists the Vaxjo Lakers by a 4-1 count. Meanwhile, Fribourg have lost both NLA games this past week and remain in last place, so they have no momentum going for them in any way, although may at least be motivated to exit a successful CHL campaign with a win in front of their home fans. Head coach Larry Huras knows what his side needs to do – and what not to do – against Frolunda tonight.

"We have to come out hard, skate with them all game, and not give them anything," commented the 61-year-old Ontario native. "Last week we had a great start and played pretty well, but we made two big mistakes. You can't give a team like this those sorts of opportunities."
