Derby time in the ice wave: The front runner visits the champions

HC Bozen – Fiat Professional Wolves The eagerly awaited duel between the league leaders and the reigning champions takes place in the ice wave. The wolves travel to Bozen's Galvanistrasse with a huge dose of self-confidence and are clearly aiming for three points. In particular, the clear win against Valpellice should give Armin Helfer and Co. further impetus. This is the third championship game in five days for Bolzano. After the defeat against Milan, the champions were able to rehabilitate themselves with a win at bottom club Pontebba, but now their first home win since October 9th should finally follow. The White-Reds also want to take revenge for the defeat in the first leg in Brunico. In the new edition of last season's final, both coaches can field their best lineups.

Ritten Sport Renault Trucks – Hafro Cortina Ritten Sport will be the first South Tyrolean team to take to the ice on Saturday. The puck drop in the home game against Cortina takes place at 19 p.m. With the one point from the defeat in Canazei, the team from the high plateau has drawn level with second-placed Valpellice. The “Buam” want to put the Piedmontese under pressure in the long-distance duel and at the same time keep the deficit to HC Pustertal in check. Cortina, on the other hand, is burning for redemption after the Ampezzans carelessly gave up the victory against Asiago that they thought was certain on Thursday. In addition to Markus Hafner and Matteo Rasom, Ritten will also have to do without Ryan Ramsay, who suffered a concussion against Fassa, against Cortina. Alex Frei, on the other hand, could return to the ice.

Milano Rossoblu – Aquile FVG Pontebba The 13th round of the championship opens at 18.30 p.m. at the Agorà Stadium. Two teams, Milan and Pontebba, will meet there who have a lot to make up for after their recent defeats in Alleghe and at home against Bolzano. The Lombards recently lost to Ritten and Valpellice in penalty shootouts at home and have been waiting for a win on their own ice since October 9th. Pontebba has only won once - and that was against Milan (4-1 on September 29th). Both Milan and the bottom team from Friuli go into the game with their best players.

Valpellice Bodino Engineering – Val di Fassa Ferrarini In the Valmora Arena Cotta Morandini the home team will meet the team from Fassa, who shone in the penalty shootout against Ritten last matchday. Valpe, wants to get back on the road to success after the tough defeat against Bruneck, which broke a winning streak of seven triumphs in a row. With the two points won on Thursday, Fassa was able to make a break after four defeats in a row. In the first leg, the Trentino team had the upper hand against Valpe 4-1. Slavomir Tomko is still missing from the home team, while coach Miroslav Frycer has the entire team available.

Alleghe Tegola Canadese – Migross Supermercati Asiago The hosts face Asiago in the Veneto derby at the Alvise De Toni Stadium in Alleghe. Both teams were victorious on the last matchday and want to celebrate on Saturday too. Asiago managed the big turnaround in the game against Cortina, was able to save a difficult situation and ultimately prevailed in extra time. Meanwhile, the players from Alleghe won and impressed against Milan and showed that they are fully capable of competing in the top group. On Saturday, Asiago coach John Parco will have to make do without defender Davide Nicoletti. Alleghe, on the other hand, still has to do without the three important building blocks of his offensive department, namely Nicola Fontanive, Gino Guzer and Alberto Fontanive.
