Bolzano and Ritten are fighting for second place in the table – HCP is visiting Cortina

HC Interspar Bozen won three of the four local duels between the two teams so far. Two away wins were followed by the first home win in the Eiswelle. The vice-champions from the high plateau celebrated their only success against the “Füchse” away in the state capital. The HCB is also clearly ahead in historical comparison: the white and red have won 53 of the 87 meetings so far. Ritten has 29 wins with five draws.

In the away game at Arena Ritten, HCB coach Adolf Insam can for the first time again rely on defender Mika Lehtinen, who has been forced to watch since December 28th due to an injury. Christian Walcher, however, is still not available. The Bolzano striker fractured two fingers in the game against Ritten on November 18th.

The situation is similar for Ritten coach Bruno Aegerter. He also has to provide a player in the form of the injured captain Ingemar Gruber. For the Swiss trainer, the game on Thursday evening is the first meeting with HC Bozen. Aegerter was able to win all three games that he has played behind the Rittner gang so far. Most recently, Ramoser and Co. prevailed against HC Pustertal 4:3 after a penalty shootout.

The leader has declared the reparation

Contrary to the current table constellation, HC Pustertal faces matchday 37: the table leader visits bottom team Cortina. With the derby win against Alleghe on the last matchday, the Ampezzan team made further ground in the table. The late starter from Veneto is back in the fight for a play-off ticket, two points behind eighth place in the table. Coach Stefan Mair's team should be warned about tomorrow's encounter. The recently suspended captain Thomas Pichler will return to the team for the Pustertal team.
