Fribourg's historic run to the final comes in Roger Rönnberg's first season as head coach, according to major media reports. The team last reached the final in 2013 and has yet to secure a championship in the Swiss top league. In the semifinals, Fribourg defeated Geneva-Servette 4-1 in matches, multiple reports indicate.
In match five, Lucas Wallmark scored two goals and Marcus Sörensen added one for Fribourg, while Christoph Bertschy scored an empty-net goal at 55:47. For Geneva-Servette, Markus Granlund scored the team's second goal with an assist from Sakari Manninen, and Jesse Puljujärvi and Vili Saarijärvi did not record points, according to major media. Davos will face Fribourg in the final, having not won a title since 2015, with Klas Östman serving as an assistant coach.
Ville Peltonen is the coach of Geneva-Servette. The exact date of the final and the format of the series, such as whether it is best-of-seven, have not been announced. Specific reasons for Fribourg's improved performance under Rönnberg this season and the injury statuses of key players for both teams remain unclear, as do historical head-to-head records between Fribourg and Davos in recent seasons.
