HC Bozen has playoff participation in its own hands

With Orli Znojmo, the third playoff participant has been determined since Sunday, alongside Salzburg and Linz. The Vienna Capitals probably took the decisive step towards the top 3 with the 1-6 win against Bozen. Dornbirn, Villach and the HCB will probably play for the remaining two fixed places in the playoffs. In fifth place, the Bulldogs are currently one point ahead of the Carinthians and South Tyroleans, who have the same points. As a reminder: Those teams that take places seven to twelfth still have the chance to win one of the two remaining tickets for the final championship phase via the intermediate round.

However, HC Bozen has the chance to catapult itself into the top 6 on its own. The prerequisite is a successful performance in the two remaining home games against table neighbors Dornbirn and Fehervar AV. "The minimum goal from last weekend was three points. We achieved this," explains HCB coach Tom Pokel, who is already looking ahead: "Now we have a few days to prepare for the two decisive games. The playoff qualification is in our hands."

Friday Dornbirn, Sunday Fehervar A look at the table and the outstanding program prove Pokel right. With a win on Friday against Dornbirn, the White-Reds could leave a direct rival behind. With a success in the final game against Fehervar, participation in the playoffs would finally be guaranteed. Captain Alexander Egger also knows this: "The only thing that counts in these two games is the win. The settlement will be settled on Sunday evening. With our fans behind us, we will make it to one of the top six places - and if not, we will qualify for the playoffs "We'll be successful in the middle. I'm sure of that."

Who is kicked out of the squad? This week there is also an important decision within the team at HC Bozen. The club management still has to reduce its points quota after the signing of Brendan Bell. According to current information, defender Roland Hofer will probably be removed from the squad.

The remaining games in the regular season: HCB Südtirol - Dornbirner EC (Friday, 19.15:XNUMX p.m.) HCB Südtirol - Fehervar AV (Sunday, 17.30 p.m.)

The table: 1. EC Red Bull Salzburg 85 points 2. Black Wings Linz 82 3. HC Orli Znojmo 74 4. Vienna Capitals 73 5. Dornbirner EC 70 6. EC VSV 69 7. HCB South Tyrol 69 8. EC KAC 65 9. Fehervar AV 56 10. Graz 99ers 51 11. HC Innsbruck 39 12. Olimpija Ljubljana23
