The wolves are planning the counterattack in Asiago

Migross Supermercati Asiago – Wolves Fiat Professional Asiago started like a fire department on Thursday and immediately took away the home advantage from the Pusterers in the Leitner Solar Arena with a deserved win. For the Wolves Fiat Professional it is now a matter of ticking off this first match and equalizing the series. Asiago is optimistic after the away coup, but sports director Renato Tessari is putting the brakes on the euphoria: “We haven't gotten anything yet. Of course it's nice when you start with a win. This gives you self-confidence and security. We played very well, the whole team put in a strong performance. The first line DiDomenico - Ulmer - Bentivoglio in particular works excellently, but we didn't just know that since the playoffs. The other two blocks also do their best. It was our luck that after many injuries we were finally able to play fully in January and got off to a good start in the playoffs. At Asiago we know that playing at the front during the regular season counts for little. The playoffs are important, something is at stake. I expect a strong reaction from the people of Pusteria on Saturday. They have a strong team with many excellent individual players. It will be difficult, but winning game two would mean a huge step for the continuation of the series.” Incidentally, Asiago is the only team that has not lost a home game in the playoffs so far. The club from Veneto also has the most successful attack in the knockout round: they scored 28 goals. There's a lot at stake for the Wolves in the second match. When it comes to squads, both teams have plenty to draw from. As a surplus foreigner, Rok Pajic could have to go to the stands this time and Pat Kavanagh could play. Tickets for the match cost 16 euros. Subscribers for the 2012/13 season get tickets for 12 euros.

Hafro Cortina - HC Valpellice Bodino Engineering

This semi-final series moves to the Olympic Stadium in Cortina. The home side would like to draw level in the series with Valpellice, who narrowly won the first match (1-0). Although the Ampezzans had to play seven games in the quarter-finals against Ritten and only had 48 hours to rest for the Valpellice match, they did not show any signs of tiredness on Thursday. Cortina played well and had some top-class opportunities, but goalie Jordan Parise's Valpe goal was nailed down. The match winner was not only the goalkeeper, but also Rob Sirianni. The attacker scored the winning goal, which was also his eighth goal in the playoffs. In the second leg, however, the cards will be completely reshuffled. Valpellice have always worked very hard in the Olympic Stadium so far this season and have lost both of their previous meetings (4:1 and 6:1). This will give the home team even more inspiration, even if the playoffs have their own rules. The club from Piedmont has to give way to Paolo Nicolao on Saturday, whose shoulder problems became acute again. Cortina is missing Andrea Baldo, who had to end the season early due to a shoulder dislocation. President Sandro Moser's club has decided that ticket prices will remain the same. Admission costs 12 euros for the standing room on the ground floor, 15 euros for the side stands and 20 euros for the central stand on the first floor.

The two games of the second game in the semi-final series will be broadcast live on the radio from 20.20:XNUMX p.m. as part of the program “Tutto l'hockey minuto per minuto”, which is broadcast by several stations.
