The Rittner Buam want to shake off their pursuers

After the victory in Alba di Canazei and the jump to first place in the table, Ritten already has its sights set on winning the next full point. Coach Lehtonen's team hosts bottom team Cortina today at 20 p.m.

The Buam are the clear favorites going into the duel with the Ampezzan team, especially since they have a whopping 13 points more in the table than their league rivals from the glamorous Dolomite town. This suffered its fourth defeat in a row on the last match day.

Val Gardena hosts the Broncos With a win, Ritten could make its first attempt to break away at the top of the table and increase the pressure on WSV Sterzing in their guest game in Wolkenstein. This is scheduled for Thursday at 20.30:XNUMX p.m. Currently only one point separates the two teams. “We always go into the game with the same attitude, no matter who our opponent is,” explains WSV defender Fabian Hackhofer, who is also relying on increased self-confidence: “The recent win against Pustertal has certainly given us another boost. We will be broad-chested in Pranives. The feeling between the coach and the team is just right for us. We're all pulling together to stay at the top of the table for as long as possible."

HC Gherdeina, meanwhile, is keen to make amends against Vipiteno. The sting after the bitter 1:10 defeat in the first leg is too deep. Their hopes rest primarily on the team's top scorer Luke Moffat. He has recorded 16 scorer points so far. So far, only two players have done better in the league-wide ranking - among them Adam Hughesman from Vipiteno (19 points). The fans can expect a thrilling duel between the two strikers.

The match between Valpe and Asiago will take place at the same time as these two games, while Pustertal will not receive the Fassa Falcons until Friday.
