155th Derby Pustertal - Interspar Bozen opens the new year

On Sunday at 20.30 p.m. the eagerly awaited South Tyrolean derby between Pustertal and Bolzano will take place in Bruneck. The strongest attack (Pustertal has scored 123 goals so far) meets the best defense (Bolzano has only conceded 69 goals). Both clubs are currently leading the Serie A table, although the “Wolves” have played one game less and were able to keep their pursuers from the state capital at a distance by eight points. The fact that HC Bozen urgently needs points in order to maintain the distance from Ritten and Valpellice makes the traditional duel even more explosive.

After three defeats, the white and red returned to winning ways on Thursday against Alleghe. Adolf Insam will have to do without the long-term injured Christian Walcher tomorrow, and the use of the injured Mika Lehtinen and Stefan Zisser is very questionable.

HCP coach Stefan Mair, on the other hand, has to make do without Thomas Erlacher. There is also a big question mark behind the use of Joe Cullen. Tomorrow could also be a historic moment for HC Pustertal: the club was founded in 1954. If it scores two goals against Bozen on Sunday, this goal would go down in history as the 5000th Serie A goal. The shooter of this goal will be awarded a trophy from the sponsor Wolfsgruber immediately after the campaign.

The Leitner Solar Arena will probably be bursting at the seams on the occasion of the 155th derby between HC Pustertal and HC Bozen, which is why spectators are recommended to arrive early.

Ritten is a guest in Pontebba Ritten Sport Renault Trucks wants to stay close to the top duo with a win in Pontebba. The runner-up won the first two matches against the Friulians this year 4:3 and 5:1, but clearly lost the last duel at home with 1:4 goals. Erwin Kostner's team can compete with their best players tomorrow. Antti Nyrhinen, who will stay in Finland and not return to Klobenstein, is no longer in the squad.

The game history of all Serie A matches can also be viewed on the NBC radio station and on the website www.lihg.it be followed directly. On Monday, the “Puckstudio” on the RAI station Bozen will also show a detailed summary of the derby at 18.40:22.30 p.m. and XNUMX:XNUMX p.m.
