The next Serie A matchday is already on St. Stephen's Day

Fiat Professional Wolves- Valpellice Bodino Engineering

The top game takes place on St. Stephen's Day in Bruneck's Leitner Solar Arena, where the league leaders compete against third-placed Valpellice. The offensive orientation of the two teams guarantees an entertaining evening of ice hockey, especially since the Wolves can also play freely due to the considerable points cushion over the second-placed team from Bolzano. However, the Valpellice players will not hide in Brunico and will try to pick up where they left off on Saturday evening in the comfortable win against Pontebba. Thanks to the “threesome”, the Piedmontese have claimed third place alone. Due to the 1:4 defeat in the most recent meeting in Torre Pellice, the HCP cracks should be forewarned. The revenge should be achieved on Wednesday without the long-term injured Joe Cullen. At Valpe, two players, Paul Baier and Brodie Dupont, have to pass.

Aquile FVG Pontebba - HC Bozen

The starting position before the game in the Vuerich Stadium is clear: HC Bozen needs three points against the bottom team in the table! The reigning champions go into the game as heavy favorites, not least because of their clear 10-0 win in their last meeting in the Eiswelle. The “Foxes” are heading into the away trip with confidence after their convincing win against Milan, while the Friulians had to give up again in their recent away game in Torre Pellice. Pontebba, which has so far only managed one home win (4-2 against Milan on September 29th), has recently suffered three defeats in a row. Regarding the line-ups, there is good news from Galvanistrasse: Hannes Oberdörfer will make his comeback, but Christian Walcher will have to continue his pass. There is still a question mark behind the use of the ailing Andrea Ambrosi. Pontebba, on the other hand, will go into the clash without Daniele Odoni. The Pontebba-Bozen match will be broadcast live on television on RaiSport.

Val di Fassa Ferrarini- Ritten Sport Renault Trucks

Similar to the Pontebba-Bozen game, the role of favorite in Ritten's away game in Alba di Canazei is also clearly assigned. The “Buam” had to swallow a bitter pill with the derby defeat against Pustertal, but given the situation at HC Fassa, the worries on the high plateau seem completely unfounded. The Trentino team suffered their fourth defeat in a row on Saturday and now risk losing touch with third-bottom Cortina. But Wilson's troops should have been forewarned after the defeat at the Scola Stadium on August 25th. At that time, Fassa had the upper hand in the penalty shootout. New signing Ryan O'Marra will make his debut for the Ladin team on Saturday, but it is still uncertain whether Thomas Dantone and Martin Castlunger will be fit in time. Marks Hafner, Ryan Ramsay and Matteo Rasom are expected to be missing from Ritten again, although there is a small glimmer of hope for the latter to play. He recently started training with the team again. Greg Jacina, on the other hand, was banned for three match days by the sports judge after his boxing attack against Pustertal.

Alleghe Tegola Canadese - Milano Rossoblu

The meeting between Alleghe and Milan promises to be pure excitement, as both teams have a lot to make up for after the slip-ups from the previous matchday. Alleghe lost to local rivals Cortina after a penalty shootout, while Milan scored six goals in Bolzano. This defeat further deepened the Lombard crisis. They have been waiting for a win for five games now. The goal of reaching the Master Round had to be given up long ago, but the focus is now on getting back on the road to success with a view to the end of the regular season. Coach Massimo Da Rin can tackle this undertaking with all squad players, but Alleghe is eagerly awaiting the return of Sean McMonagle.

Hafro Cortina - Migross Supermercati Asiago

A classic six-point game is coming up between the two Veneto clubs Cortina and Asiago. After the derby win against Alleghe, the Ampezzan team want to put their next local rivals in their place in the Olympic Stadium at home. However, Asiago warmed up for the guest appearance in the posh ski resort with a 9:3 shooting festival on the last match day. A clear favorite cannot be identified before the game. Regarding the lineups: While Cortina can make the most of it, Asiago defender Michele Strazzabosco will probably have to postpone his comeback. Alessandro Tura will play between the posts again.
