Comeback of a classic: Milan against Bolzano – derby time in Brunico

Fiat Professional Wolves - Ritten Sport Renault Trucks In Bruneck, the purely South Tyrolean duel takes place between the wolves and the guests from the Ritten high plateau. Both teams want to sustain their strong start to the season and further win the derby's favor with the fans. Ritten scored five goals against Pontebba for the neighborhood duel, while the Pusterers left the ice in Asiago as winners thanks to a controlled and disciplined performance. So far, Ritten and Pustertal have faced each other 88 times in Serie A. The wolves retained the upper hand in 37 encounters, 45 wins went to Ritten, the remaining 5 ended in a draw. The “Rittner Buam” will start the away trip to Bruneck with their best line-up. Meanwhile, the former Rittner and current HCP coach Paul Adey has to replace the long-term injured Thomas Erlacher.

Milano Rossoblu - HC Bozen The fans from Milan and Bolzano had to be patient for four long years, but now it's that time again: On Saturday there will be a new edition of the classic between the two traditional clubs that have had a decisive influence on Italian ice hockey in recent decades. The last duel to date dates back to March 27, 2008 when the white-reds won the ice wave and thus won the semi-final duel against Milan. This was the Lombards' last Serie A game to date. In the early game (face-off at 18.30 p.m.) of the 2nd round, Milan wants to overcome the opening defeat in Torre Pellice, while Bolzano will try to follow up the win against Alleghe with another “threesome”. HCB coach Brian McCutcheon can rely on all squad players, while his counterpart Massimo Da Rin has to pretend to be Federico Betti.

Val di Fassa Ferrarini - Migross Supermercati Asiago The clash in the Scola Stadium between Fassa and Asiago promises pure excitement. The Ladins celebrated a surprising opening victory after a penalty shootout in Cortina on Thursday. Miro Frycer's protégés now want to follow up the two points with three more. Asiago, on the other hand, got off to a very bad start to the season with a home defeat against Pustertal. The opening defeat now needs to be ironed out in the first away game of the season. In addition to Nicoletti and Stefano Marchetti, Asiago will probably also have to do without Andrea Strazzabosco, who is weakened by the flu.

Aquile FVG Pontebba - Valpellice Bodino Engineering The young Pontebba team is aiming for its first point in the home premiere against Valpellice. However, the task is likely to prove very difficult, as the Piedmontese were in brilliant shape in the win against Milan. Pontebba can rely on the home advantage, which has usually been decisive in this duel in the past. The Friulians, who lost out to Ritten in the opener, will have to use offensive players Ryan Watson and Felice Giugliano, while Valpe Canale and Nicolao will be missing.

Alleghe Tegola Canadese - Hafro Cortina The eagerly awaited local derby between the two Belluno clubs Alleghe Tegola Canadese and Hafro Cortina will take place at the De Toni Stadium. Both have a lot to make up for after the defeats on the first match day. After the bankruptcy in the ice wave, Alleghe wants to strike back in front of their home fans, while Cortina is burning for redemption after the defeat against Fassa. Similar to the Supercup, the Beddoes team failed to defend their lead on Thursday and had to admit defeat again in the penalty shootout. On Saturday, the white-blue team will again have to watch the injured Luca Zanatta, while Alleghe will again be missing defender McMonagle.
