Pustertal and Bozen play at home, Ritten away

After the derby defeat in the penalty shootout on Thursday in Klobenstein against Ritten, HC Interspar Bozen returns to the ice wave tomorrow. The record champions face Cortina, the two most successful teams in Italy face each other. After 37 rounds, Bolzano is in third place in the table, while Cortina is distant last.

A total of 36 points separate the two teams, but the white-reds have to be careful because they lost their last two games against the old champions. In the direct duels this winter it is a 2-2 draw. Bolzano won the first two encounters 3-0 and 4-1, the Ampezzo team won games three and four with 4-2 and 5-2 goals. In Serie A, these two traditional clubs have faced each other 187 times. Bolzano left the ice as winner 97 times, Cortina 74 times.

On Saturday, HCB coach Adolf Insam will confirm the team that contested the derby against Ritten. He still has to make do without the injured striker Christian Walcher (broken finger). “We absolutely have to win tomorrow if we want to hold on to Ritten. Our goal remains second place in the table,” says Insam. Ritten is currently two points ahead of Bolzano in the table. Cortina also urgently needs points. Especially after Thursday's defeat at home against Pustertal. Doug McKay's team is fighting for a play-off place. Three points separate the old master from Alleghe.

Pustertal welcomes Pontebba, Ritten away at Fassa Like Bozen, HC Pustertal will also play in front of their home crowd tomorrow. The “Wolves” celebrated three wins in four games against Pontebba this year. Tomorrow coach Stefan Mair will have to do without the suspended Matt Kelly and the injured Thomas Erlacher. The ailing Michele Ciresa is missing from the guests.

Ritten Sport Renault Trucks will try to win the 9th championship game in a row against Fassa in Alba di Canazei. The still unbeaten coach Bruno Aegarten has to do without his captain Ingemar Gruber, Giudice and Iori are questionable at fassa.
