The two teams are struggling at the bottom of the New Zealand Ice Hockey League after four rounds.
The Thunder has lost its six games and the Admirals' only two wins were both against the Dunedin team, 4-2 and 7-5, in Auckland.
Christos (24), the duty manager at the Dunedin Ice Stadium, has scored four goals and made five assists this season and is keen to add a few more against the Admirals.
Playing on home ice will be an advantage to the Thunder.
"I'm confident we can pull off two wins if we put away our shots," Christos said.
A win in the first game of the double-header today would give the team some confidence, he said.
"It would help get the ball rolling a bit for us," he said.
"This is only our second year as a team and a number of our players haven't played serious competitive hockey before. It is a big step up."
Christos started playing hockey as a 12-year-old at the Big Chill and had three years in the national league for the Southern Stampede before the Dunedin Thunder team was formed.
His long-term ambition is to play for the Ice Blacks.
"I've been to two trials," he said.
"The national coaches have told me that I just need more game time to make the grade."
Ice hockey is noted for its roughhouse tactics, perhaps a reason big crowds attended the world championships at the Dunedin Ice Stadium earlier this year.
"I prefer the skills more than the rough stuff," Christos said.
The Queenstown-based Southern Stampede is unbeaten and leads the league with 15 points and is followed by the Red Devils 8, Botany Swarm 5, Admirals 4 and Dunedin Thunder 0.
The Thunder plays the Admirals at the Dunedin Stadium tonight (7pm) and tomorrow (4pm).
The Canterbury Red Devils play Botany Swarm in Christchurch today and tomorrow at 5pm.
The Southern Stampede has the bye.
