Pustertal – Bolzano: Fight for prestige and league leadership

Fiat Professional Wolves – HC Bozen The top game takes place on Saturday evening in the sold-out Leitner-Solar-Arena, where there will be a repeat of last season's final between the two local rivals HC Pustertal and HC Bozen. The Wolves got the full number of points in the three games so far and currently hold the place in the sun. The HCB wants to contest this in the 167th local derby. The record champions currently have 134 wins, while the Pusterers have 8 successes with 24 draws. These numbers reflect the tradition that makes this duel one of the most spectacular in Italian ice hockey. Pustertal will have to do without the injured Thomas Erlacher on Saturday, but Bozen will have the best possible team.

Hafro Cortina – Ritten Sport Renault Trucks Ritten is a guest at the troubled traditional club from Cortina, which is still waiting for its first full point win. So far, De Bettin and Co. only have two points to their name. The situation at Ritten is completely different: After the hard-fought victory in the home game against Fassa, the “Buam” have settled into the top third of the table. In order to take on the role of laughing third in the duel between Pustertal and Bolzano, the Wilson team urgently needs their first away win. The Rittner coach will once again have to do without Mathias Fauster, who still has to serve a one-game suspension. However, Luca Zanatta is still missing from Cortina, while Albers will return to the ice.

Aquile FVG Pontebba – Milano Rossoblu Both Pontebba and Milan had to give up on the third matchday and are now eager to make amends. The home team in particular is under pressure after losing the first three games of the season. Milan, on the other hand, was only slowed down by Alleghe in the penalty shootout. Now the Lombards want to score points on foreign ice for the first time. Both teams will have everything to play for on Saturday, apart from Pontebba striker Ryan Watson, whose return from North America remains eagerly awaited.

Val di Fassa Ferrarini – Valpellice Bodino Engineering At the Scola Stadium, Fassa and Valpellice want to take revenge for their recent defeats. The Ladins lost 0-1 in Klobenstein, with Doyle once again proving his class. Meanwhile, Valpe had to admit defeat on home ice in Pustertal. Nevertheless, both teams are among the positive aspects of this first phase of the championship. Before the home game on Saturday, Fassa is worried about the use of Mattia Bernard, while the opponent from Piedmont is worried about the loss of Slavomir Tomko, who suffered a deep cut with an ice skate.

Migross Supermercati Asiago – Alleghe Tegola Canadese Asiago takes part in the second Veneto derby within 48 hours. After their first win of the season in a duel with Cortina, the club from the province of Vicenza now wants to follow up against Alleghe. However, the Bellunese travel to their local rivals with a lot of confidence, as Tom Pokel's protégés recently emphasized their strong form status with an away win in Milan. About the lineups: At Asiago, Nicoletti and Stefano Marchetti have to pass, Alleghe has to compensate for the failures of the two top performers McMonagle and Alberto Fontanive.
