Analysis | Semi-final clash between Buam and Wolves

That speaks for the HCP – The team: The Wolves inevitably have the better, more balanced squad. You can generate pressure with all four rows and thereby save energy. This means that Basile's troops have a slight advantage in the decisive moments of the game - such as in extra time on Tuesday. However, it is not easy to play this consistently against the compact Buam. – Colin Furlong: You can rely on Pustertal’s rock in the surf. The 27-year-old is in top form and is there when the people in front of him are in trouble. The Canadian is the tip of the scales that can make the crucial difference. – The personnel level: While MacGregor Sharp (there is still a question mark behind his appearance on Thursday), Philipp Pechlaner and Kevin Fink are out of the Buam, Luciano Basile can draw on the full, apart from Maximilian Leitner. Given the short break between games, this is a big advantage. That speaks for the Buam – The home record: The Wolves and the Buam have dueled five times this season, each time the hosts retained the upper hand. A balance sheet that Simon Kostner & Co. rely on. – Speaking of Simon Kostner: Buam's first line of attack with the man from Ortisei, Dan Tudin and Markus Spinell caused the HCP great difficulties in their first encounter. The reason: All three strikers have an extremely well-developed understanding of the game, as well as a powerful shot and fine hands. They are Ritten's ace in the hole. – The experience of winning important games: In addition to many young players, Santeri Heiskanen can rely on real veterans. An Andreas Lutz, a Dan Tudin, a Julian or Simon Kostner have already fought countless battles in their careers and won many of them. They know what it takes to be successful. Sure, this year's team cannot be compared with that of previous years, but the winning team should never be underestimated. Conclusion Either way, the fans in front of the screens can look forward to a thrilling game (the game starts at 20 p.m.). The famous details will decide who will come out on top in the end. And if the Buam actually prevail, the absolute showdown would take place on Saturday in the Rienz Stadium. So you can be excited.
