Bozen wants to clear first place - Ritten in Alleghe - Wolves free of play

Master round

HC Valpellice Bodino Engineering – HC Bozen Important points are at stake in the Valmora Arena Cotta Morandini on Tuesday evening. The home team wants to get them so that they have home advantage in the quarter-finals (probably against Alleghe), while Bolzano needs them to secure first place as soon as possible after the regular round. Valpellice's morale is good after the win against Ritten, while Bozen enjoyed a rest day last match day and wants to defend its clean slate in the Master Round. As for the teams, Valpellice will be without Alex Silva. Marco Insam is likely to return to the team at Bolzano, while Andy Delmore could make his first appearance for his new employer in defense.

Alleghe Tegola Canadese – Ritten Sport Renault Trucks At De Toni Stadium, Alleghe and Ritten Sport cross the sticks. Alleghe suffered its third defeat in the fourth game of the Master Round on Saturday in Brunico and can now afford no further missteps (especially in front of its own audience) if the team wants to finish the regular round in fourth place. Alleghe's opponent on Tuesday is Ritten, which won the last duel against the red-whites on January 17th - but also suffered a defeat on Saturday. While Tom Pokel has everything he can do, the Rittners are plagued by serious injury concerns. In addition to Alex Frei and Alexander Eisath, Dan Tudin (with knee problems) and Ryan Ramsay (broken finger) will be out for several weeks. Ramsay only returned to the team on Saturday after a two-month break.

SHC Val di Fassa Ferrarini – Hafro Cortina This pairing is perhaps the most important match of this round, as both teams are fighting for eighth place and thus a place in the play-off. If Miroslav Frycer's team celebrates a home win, the gap to Cortina would only be three points the race for the ticket would be open again. “The victory in Asiago gave us new momentum and hope. The match on Tuesday will be the most important of the new season for us. We believe in ourselves. But in order for us to get these three points, we have to be more disciplined, especially in defense. We have to have the same fighting spirit as in Asiago, only then will we have a chance,” says Stefano Margoni, attacker in Fassa’s ranks. Cortina, currently in third place in the relegation round table, could make their place in the play-offs perfect with a win at the Scola Stadium. Both teams can play fully in this awesome game.

Aquile FVG Pontebba – Milano Rossoblu Pontebba has to go into the play out, that much is already clear. In the second home game in a row, the Friulians would like to look better than in the 3:10 defeat against Cortina on Saturday. Miroslav Pajic's team will have to produce a masterful performance in order not to suffer a similar defeat against Milan. The Lombards enjoyed their rest day on Saturday and are competing at the bottom with full energy tanks. Adolf Insam's team needs a win to secure second place in the play-out. In the first leg, Milan had the upper hand 3-1. Gerome Giudice, who has been suspended by the sports judge, will be missing from Pontebba. Milan, meanwhile, has plenty to draw from.
