The HCB Südtirol faces a “Mission Impossible” - UPDATE

Red Bull Salzburg is the dominant league leader in the EBEL. The Mozartstadters are six points ahead of Linz, second in the cross-border championship rankings. However, not all that glitters in Salzburg is gold at the moment.

The “Bulls” lost the last home game against Villach after a penalty shootout and last celebrated in front of their own audience on December 7th, when Fehervar was beaten 6-3. Nevertheless, the team coached by Daniel Ratushny is the measure of all things in the EBEL. Still.

HC Bozen is on the rise after two home wins in a row. The Foxes Graz and Linz pulled out in the ice wave. Thanks to the two successes, sixth place and thus direct playoff qualification are now within reach. Now the next small step should be taken with a win against Salzburg.

Nesbitt and Galvins are probably missing - Hofer faces a possible comeback

The HCB cracks draw confidence from the fact that they won the last duel against Red Bull Salzburg on November 13th. However, Salzburg won the first league game of the new season in the Volksgarten. The Austrians are the favorites - which is not surprising given the 14 point difference in the table.

Coach Mario Simioni will probably have to do without the two injured Derek Nesbitt and Guntis Galvins. Roland Hofer could celebrate his comeback earlier than planned. A final decision will probably only be made in the near future. As far as the fight for sixth place is concerned, Graz also has a tough game ahead of them on Tuesday and faces Linz away, while Villach hosts Znojmo. A win for Alexander Egger & Co. – it could have a doubly positive effect on the table. .

The HCB Südtirol faces a “Mission Impossible” - UPDATE

All good things come in threes. That's why the Foxes are happy that they can celebrate for the third time in a row on Tuesday after two wins in a row. However, Simioni's troops will have to deal with Salzburg. Away. That's why Egger & Co. need something like a Christmas miracle. Or at least almost.
