The wolves are hungry for the next success

In the AlpsHL, HC Pustertal wants to extend its series of 5 wins en suite and also has a seemingly feasible task ahead of them with the Steel Wings Linz. But be careful: The Wolves were also the favored team against Kitzbühel on paper, but they almost stumbled against the Adler ( SportNews berichtete ).

HC Gröden has to keep itself under control against Lustenau, especially defensively. The Vorarlbergers have scored a whopping 14 goals in the last two games and should be brimming with self-confidence on offense. The Val Gardena team, on the other hand, has put in a lot of effort in defense this season, conceding an average of 4 goals per game. Closing down at the back could be a key to success for the Kostner troops. Ritten and Wipptal are hoping for out-of-form opponents An almost identical task is on the agenda for the Rittner Buam and the Wipptal Broncos on Saturday evening. Their opponents, Red Bull Juniors from Salzburg and Jesenice, have both been without a game for more than a month due to corona. With the exception that Jesenice made his comeback on Wednesday - and suffered a 0-3 defeat against Asiago. So if the Buam and the Broncos are in good form, then there is always something possible against the opponents who are better off in the table. Can Brixen stop the Kaltern Express? In the IHL, SV Kaltern is currently the team of the hour and greets us from the top of the table. The duel with third place in the table is now on the agenda against the Brixen Falcons. A serious opponent for the Kalterer Hechte, but also one Überetsch derby victory have your back - the Falcons from Eisacktal have a Herculean task ahead of them.

The Unterland Cavaliers recently won 3-2 against those Falcons. The match winner was Cavs newcomer Filip Kokoska with a hat-trick. He should lead his team to the next points again on Saturday against second-placed Fiemme.

With the game between Meran and Eppan, another South Tyrolean derby is also on the program. The clear favorites are the people of Passerstadt, who probably don't want to give up their claim to the title fight against the bottom of the table from Eppan.
