Derby time in Bolzano: The wolves are aggressive

Master round

HC Bozen – Fiat Professional Wolves

On Thursday, the fans are eagerly awaiting the fifth derby between foxes and wolves in the Bolzano Eiswelle. With a win, the people of Bolzano could move another three points away from the Pusterers. After the success on the South Tyrolean plateau against Ritten on Tuesday, the White-Reds will enter their home stadium with their heads held high. But the wolves also travel to the capital with a lot of self-confidence. Oberrauch and Co. want to assert themselves in the second away game in a row and repeat the success of Tuesday evening, when they won 7-4 in Torre Pellice. The balance of direct duels this season is balanced. Both teams have won twice so far. In the most recent meeting on December 28th in Merano, the people of Bolzano won 4-1. As far as the lineups are concerned, the Italian champions will have to do without Marco Insam, while the Pusterers will travel to Bolzano without Ben Guitè, Patrick Bona, Benno Obermair, Lukas Crepaz and Pat Kavanagh, who is serving the last game of his suspension.

Alleghe Tegola Canadese – HC Valpellice Bodino Engineering

Alleghe and Valpellice are the only two teams that have never won in the Master Round. This will change on Thursday when the players from Torre Pellice, who suffered a 4:7 defeat against Pustertal on the last match day, will be a guest at the Pokel team, who were not able to play on Tuesday. In the second home game, the home side want to extend their lead over their direct rivals, which is currently only two points. Coach Tom Pokel will have the entire team available on Thursday with the exception of striker Gino Guyer (groin problem). At Valpellice, however, the return of goalie Jordan Parise is uncertain, Paul Baier is missing.

Relegation Round

Milano Rossoblu – Migross Supermercati Asiago

Milan and Asiago face each other in the Agorà Stadium on Thursday (live broadcast on RaiSport1 from 20.25:8 p.m.). After their success over Pontebba, the guests are guaranteed a place in the play-offs. Meanwhile, the home side, who have been victorious in the last three games, could overtake Asiago in the table with a triumph and secure themselves at the top of the relegation round. Not an easy task, because Asiago is also hungry for victory. In the most recent match between the two teams on January 7th, Coach John Parco's boys won with 5:XNUMX goals. Milan will play in full on the fourth matchday of the interim period. Angelo Esposito also makes his debut. Suspended defender Enrico Miglioranzi returns to the ice at Asiago.

Val di Fassa Ferrarini – Aquile FVG Pontebba

The basement duel between Fassa and Pontebba will take place in the Scola Stadium on Thursday. The two teams will likely cross bats in the play outs as well. Fassa is nine points behind the last play-off place, which Cortina currently occupies. That's why it will be difficult to get on the bandwagon. For bottom-placed Pontebba, however, this has already taken off. Fassa coach Miro Frycer can make the most of it on Thursday, while the Friulians' return of the transfer card players is up in the air.
