Foxes also want to tame the Capitals

Whether the HCB's race to catch up with its long-term goal of 6th place will be successful will probably only be decided after the next and last 5 rounds of the basic round (see the complete remaining program at the end of this text).

On Sunday, with the game starting at 17.30:XNUMX p.m., there will be a big match between HCB Südtirol and the Vienna Capitals in the Eiswelle. After Bolzano's recent winning streak, one can assume that many spectators will find their way to the stadium.

“Our audience is like a sixth field player for us” To the great delight of the players, as Stefano Marchetti also emphasized in the interview after the Zagreb match: “Our audience is something very special – like a sixth field player for us. It will also be a strong support for us against Vienna.”

Regarding the Zagreb match, the defender said that “we just look from game to game. The path to our dream goal of 6th place is still very difficult.”

Teammate Anton Bernard says something similar, who is also curbing his euphoria, even though he is of course also aiming for 6th place and thus direct qualification for the quarter-finals: “We had to win against Zagreb in order to stay in touch with the other contenders for 6th place . But we’re still nowhere near where we want to be.”

Dornbirn lost in Linz on Saturday despite being in the lead There were also two games in the Erste Bank Ice Hockey League (EBEL) on Saturday. While Innsbruck's 6:5 victory after a penalty shootout in Klagenfurt is meaningless in the fight for the coveted 6th place, the same cannot be said of the Linz-Dornbirn game.

The Dornbirn team had the chance to present something to the HCB and the other 6th place contenders in the steel city, and that seemed to work for two thirds. After being 0-1 behind and 1-1 in the first break, Vorarlberg took the lead 2-2 with the only goal of the second third.

But then the home team took command in the third period and scored four goals in a row to make the final score 5-2.

If Bozen wins in regular time on Sunday against Vienna, the HCB would certainly at least overtake Dornbirn in the table.

40th round of the Erste Bank Ice Hockey League (EBEL) on Sunday: Graz 99ers – HC Znojmo (16 p.m.) Villacher SV – EC Salzburg (17.30 p.m.) HCB Südtirol Alperia – Vienna Capitals (17.30 p.m.) Medvescak Zagreb – HC Innsbruck (17.45 p.m.) Fehervar AV – EC KAC (17.45 p.m.)
