In Serie A, important points in the playoff round are at stake

HC Eppan Roi Team - Valpellice Bodino Engineering

After the bitter 0-7 defeat that Eppan suffered in Klobenstein on Thursday, the Pirates want to turn things around and return to winning ways against Valpellice. The club from Piedmont missed its last appearance in South Tyrol and suffered a defeat at bottom team Kaltern. This gives Eppan courage, which finally wants to celebrate again after three defeats in a row.

WSV Vipiteno Weihenstephan - Hockey Milano Rossoblu

The Broncos are in enviable shape and forced a title contender like HC Pustertal into a penalty shootout on Thursday. Now the Wipptal team, which coach Kammerer has formed into a team that is unpleasant for any team, wants to take full advantage again at home against Milan.

HC Neumarkt Riwega - HC Pustertal

The only South Tyrolean derby of the match day kicks off in the Unterland. Neumarkt is still fully in the race for second place in the playoff round, while the Wolves want to finish the Master Round in first place and can therefore make good use of the points. Also because the yellow-blacks dropped a point against Vipiteno on Thursday.

SV Kaltern Rothoblaas - Migross Asiago

Asiago, on the other hand, is a guest at bottom team Kaltern. This means that the leader of the Master Round meets the bottom team of the playoff round. On paper it would actually be a crystal clear affair, if the Hechte hadn't caused some big surprises in the last few games and brought Valpellice and Kaltern to their knees. In any case, Asiago will be on guard in the Raiffeisen Arena and will certainly not take Kaltern lightly.

SHC Val di Fassa - Rittner Buam

The reigning champions seem to have regained their accuracy in front of the opponent's goal. At least that is the conclusion that one could draw from the 7-0 win against Eppan. Now the Buam would like to continue on this path at the Scola Stadium in Alba di Canazei. But the same applies here as for the match between Kaltern and Asiago: the favorite (Ritten) must not underestimate the outsider (Fassa). Otherwise it could backfire.

SG Hafro Cortina - HC Gherdeina valgardena.it

It's like magic: Val Gardena is still waiting for its first victory in the second championship phase of Serie A. The "Furie" will be guests in Cortina on Saturday. For their part, the Ampezzans would like to collect points again after the narrow 2-3 defeat against Asiago in order to defend second place in the table of the playoff round. Marko Luomala is likely to make his debut at Val Gardena and may give the team new impetus.
