Will the HCB succeed in jumping out of the basement?

The victories over Salzburg and Dornbirn gave the HCB some breathing room in the table. In addition to Znojmo, Villach has now also slipped behind Bolzano. In order for it to stay that way, a win is needed in the direct duel against VSV. Otherwise Villach could overtake the HCB again.

Foxes on the rise since the coaching change

After Kai Suikkanen took over the helm at HCB for the fired Pat Curcio, things are back on track. We were able to leave the bottom of the table and now the Foxes want more. Seventh place in the table, where Dornbirn is currently located, is within reach. Currently five points are missing from seventh place. Most recently, the HCB extended the contract with Matias Sointu . The Finnish striker is an important part of the Foxes and should also cause a sensation on the offensive in Villach. Markus Gander, who suffered a broken jaw against Salzburg, will also be missing.

So far only one win this season against Villach

The balance in the duel with VSV speaks for Villach. The Carinthians have won two of the three duels so far this season. However, it was always close and the Foxes won the last meeting, on December 8th in Bolzano. So it will be exciting when the puck drops in Villach on Sunday at 17.30:XNUMX p.m.
