The Foxes return to the ice on Friday

Innsbruck versus Bolzano? There was something? That's right, on the first matchday of the EBEL 2016/17 the two teams had an open exchange of blows in the Tyrolean derby. The 2150 spectators in the Tiroler Wasserkraft Arena saw a thrilling duel between two teams that faced each other with their sights open. So it's no wonder that the match ended 8:7 from Innsbruck's perspective. On September 16th, Bolzano led 5:3 after the second period, was behind 56.30:5 after 8 minutes and came within one goal before the final siren.

So it's no wonder that both fan camps are looking forward to the new edition. Also because the second leg on November 13th was also a very close affair, which the Foxes won with just one goal difference (3:2). And the two teams are currently fighting for fourth place in the table and have each picked up 38 points to date. So from this perspective, an extremely interesting pairing.

Out of 16 duels, only two were lost

By the way, Alexander Egger & Co. have been unbeaten since their narrow derby win against the Haie. After four wins en suite, the Foxes wanted their fifth success on Tuesday, but the Pokel team got in the way of a gastrointestinal virus, which literally flattened 13 players (including the two goalkeepers) (SportNews reported). The Bolzano ice skaters are now healthy again and are looking forward to returning to the ice.

By the way, the statistics clearly speak for HCB Südtirol: in 16 direct duels with HCI, there were 14 wins for the Foxes and only two games were lost by the Italian record champions.
