The two qualifiers from Group B are already known, but what isn't known yet is which team will finish 1st and which will finish 2nd. Heading into Gameday 6, Kometa Brno have a two-point lead over the Malmö Redhawks. Therefore, the Czech champs need just a single point to secure top spot, otherwise, it goes to Malmö. Despite having a slightly tougher task ahead of them, the Redhawks have the advantage of playing the game at home.
