Italian Cup dress rehearsal in Serie A

Hafro SG Cortina – Fiat Professional Wolves After the painful defeat against Pontebba, Cortina is looking for compensation against the league leaders from the Puster Valley. The duel between the two traditional clubs is made even more exciting by the fact that the rivals will face each other again in the semi-finals of the Italian Cup in just seven days. On Saturday, however, the focus will first be on the league table, where Cortina wants to fend off the attacks from Asiago and Alleghe to fourth place in the table and the HCP is forced to score points in order to keep pursuers Bozen at a distance. After the derby win against Bolzano, the Wolves are going into the duel with Cortina with a big chest. With DiCasmirro (Pustertal) and Zanatta (Cortina), both have to specify one player each.

Val di Fassa Ferrarini – WSV Vipiteno Weihenstephan The Frycer team started the new year with two convincing wins against Alleghe and Asiago and thus moved away from the bottom of the table. With a lot of fighting spirit and team unity, Fassa now wants to bring down the “wild horses” from Vipiteno. But they also recently boosted their self-confidence with a home win against Valpellice and at the same time ended a negative streak of seven games without a win. The Wipptalers were finally rewarded for the enormous effort they put in in previous games. At Fassa, Doyle should return between the posts on Saturday, but Locatin and the blocked beak are missing. Vipiteno still has to do without Lee, Rainer and Bustreo.

HC Bozen - HC Alleghe Tegola Canadese

In the second Italian Cup dress rehearsal, HC Bozen and HC Alleghe meet. A week before the cup duel in the Eiswelle, the record champions seem to be the favorites, especially since they played good ice hockey for long stretches in the narrow defeat in Bruneck and were unlucky when they hit the post three times. An outstanding Zaba in goal and the hardened style of play are currently the quality features of the HCB. However, Alleghe's well-equipped team has already proven to be a stumbling block for many opponents so far this season. While Bolzano can once again make the most of it on Saturday, the home team from Belluno is missing Monferone.

Ritten Sport Renault Trucks - Supermercati Migross Asiago Asiago's final league game is on Saturday before they travel to Rouen, where the SuperFinal of the Continental Cup will be played from January 13th to 15th. Before that, the Italian champion wants to gain a lot of self-confidence against Ritten. However, Ingemar Gruber and Co. definitely see a chance, as Asiago has been very careless in the championship recently and dropped points at home against Fassa. However, the “Rittner Buam” also suffered two setbacks in the most recent two games against Pustertal and Fassa. On Saturday, Bligth will be missing from the home team, while the suspended Pitton will have to pass at Asiago.

HC Valpellice Bodino Engineering - Aquile FVG Pontebba For Valpellice, the dramatic table situation worsened with the defeat in Vipiteno on Thursday. Now the turnaround should be successful against third-placed Pontebba. Hopes lie in the two new additions Valiquette and Dickenson, who will increase the quality of the Valpe team. However, Pontebba will certainly not be intimidated and will try to build on the outstanding third third against Cortina (four goals). Regarding the failures: The Piedmontese are competing without Regan and Huddy, and Tomko is missing from Pontebba. Waddel, however, is returning to the team after his suspension.
