GKS Tychy will hopefully have better results on home ice as they face off against Frölunda Gothenburg in this Game Day 3 derby. The Poles enter this contest winless, while the Swedes have secured back-to-back victories - both in convincing fashion. Engineering their first win will be a challenge for Tychy, but upsets aren't new to the Champions Hockey League.

In their last bout with Lausanne HC, Frölunda found themselves even with the Swiss after two periods. A strong third, however, made all the difference as the Swedes were able to distance themselves from their opponents thanks to three unanswered goals, beginning with Nicklas Lasu's marker six minutes into the final stanza. From there, Frölunda put on a defensive clinic that culminated in their second consecutive win.

Through two games, the former CHL Champions have outscored their opponents by a combined 8-2, while Jacob Peterson leads the league in goals scored. Having such talent on both offence and defence, a third straight victory could well be in the cards.

Tychy, however, haven't shown much dominance in their past two games. Scoring one goal while allowing seven hasn't inspired much confidence in a club that secured its first national championship since 2020. Now going up against a powerhouse in Frölunda, their chances of securing the club's first win are slim. Nevertheless, the fact that they're on home ice and understand the challenge that's ahead of them might be motivation enough to show Europe's elite the skill they possess.
