Lucerne produced overs in each of their last 13 games while Zurich produced overs in 15 of their last 16 games. They produced overs in 4 of their last 5 H2H meetings, with 3 of the last 4 of those games seeing at least 5 goals. With nothing on the line for either side, got to expect an open type of game that should result in an over in the end.

Servette produced overs in 6 of their last 8 games, while Lausanne produced 12 overs in their last 13 games. They produced overs in 3 of the last 4 H2H meetings, of which 2 games saw both sides score and concede at least 3 times, including the most recent one. With nothing to play for for either side, got to expect an open game with goals that should result in an over.

These two teams showed that they are matched very evenly, splitting the first 6 games and going the distance to this deciding game 7. KooKoo led the series 2-0 and 3-2, but Tappara showed great resilience and fought back, staving off elimination to reach this game 7 on home ice. This is the biggest spot the small team from Kouvola has ever been in, having just reached their first final ever and being just one win away from a historic first title. On the other side, Tappara has the most titles in the history of Finnish hockey, and they won 3 of the last 4, showing great resilience as they were 0-2 down in both the semifinal and this final series before slowly clawing their way back. That disparity in experience, combined with Tappara playing on home ice and having a few more players who can make the difference in the most important moments, should see Tappara win and celebrate a new, 21st title in the club's history.

These two teams battled a completely even series, with 5 of 6 games staying below this total with the last two games seeing only 3 goals each. Tappara plays more possession wise when attacking, trying to wear out the defense with multiple cycles, and neither team is creating many great scoring chances, as both are exceptional defensively, led by Heljanko and Randelin in goal as both have been at a very high level in this final. Combined with both sides being disciplined and not committing many penalties, got to expect another lower-scoring, cagey, very tense, gritty game that should result in another under.
