The Foxes have to step up their game in the basement duel

“We have to keep going like this and start a winning streak. “I’m already focused on the next game,” explained Sunday’s match winner, goalie Jakub Sedlacek, immediately after the end of the game. The newcomer knows how difficult the situation is at HCB. As the bottom of the table, they are miles behind expectations so far.

Dustin Sylvester as HCB-Schreck

Now, in the basement duel with Dornbirn, there is at least the chance to hand over the red lantern to a direct competitor. The Vorarlbergers are only one point ahead of the White-Reds in the rankings. However, there are some signs that clearly speak against the HCB: out of ten EBEL matches in the “Ländle”, the Foxes were only able to win two. DEC crack Dustin Sylvester also has a run against Bozen. He always hit the mark in the four most recent meetings. Dornbirn also gained self-confidence in the penalty win against top club Linz on Sunday. Nevertheless, the people of Bolzano want to pick up where they left off in the derby against Innsbruck: with maximum effort, team unity and flawless defensive behavior.

“We all know that we are in a very delicate situation. We are desperately looking for a way out. Unity - both within the team and with our fans - is the only way to get back on the road to success in the long term," said captain Alex Egger via the HCB press spokesman after he got into a dispute himself on Sunday after the derby was involved with the ultras from the fan curve.

The HCB wants to smooth things over and work together to get out of the crisis. A victory in Dornbirn would definitely be another step in the right direction.

The Foxes have to step up their game in the basement duel

The celebration on Sunday after the derby win against Innsbruck quickly died down both in the wide area around the ice wave and in the team cabin. Because everyone at HC Bozen knows: Only another success tonight against Dornbirn will really help us get out of trouble.
