Ritten needs a win against Vipiteno to have any hope

HC Valpellice Bodino Engineering - Fassa Ferrarini The game between Valpellice and Fassa is of course just as fundamental for the starting position in the play-off as the match between Asiago and Alleghe. Valpellice, which has been transformed in this Master Round and recently celebrated three wins in a row, welcomes Fassa on Tuesday. The Bulldogs can make everything clear with a win and secure their participation in the knockout round. But not only, because the team from Piedmont, which was recently driven by the Dickenson-Nikiforuk duo, could even overtake Asiago. Meanwhile, Fassa made life difficult for itself by losing on a penalty shootout against the Broncos on Saturday. The Ladins, who like Valpellice are playing a solid relegation round apart from the Vipiteno mistake, will count on Doyle and hope that the parade line Iori-Margoni-Chrenko strikes in the attack. Regan is missing from the home team, Fassa has to replace Locatin.

Win and then hope: that could roughly sum up the mood in Ritten before the 20th derby against Vipiteno. The Buam have slipped to second-to-last place after three defeats in a row and now have to win against the Broncos, but at the same time also hope that Asiago and Valpellice cannot also achieve success. Otherwise, Ritten will hunt for Fassa, because the Ladins are Ritten's opponents on the last matchday of the relegation round. Most recently against Alleghe, the blatant finishing weakness of Holst's troops became clear once again, which cost Rittner dearly. Now we have to eliminate this weakness in the remaining two games in order to perhaps jump on the play-off train. But it won't be easy against the Broncos, who recently forced Valpellice into extra time and even won against Fassa in the penalty shootout. Fauster will not be available to Ritten in this match, while Wipptal will have to play Stofner, Pichler and Mair, but may be able to use Lanz.

Supermercati Migross Asiago – HC Alleghe Tegola Canadese In the derby between the two clubs from Veneto, 120 minutes before the end of the relegation round, Asiago is fighting for the play-off ticket and the hosts are fighting for first place in the table. The last time the two teams faced each other was on February 4th and then Alleghe had the upper hand. Asiago, whose lack of concentration has often been their downfall, has to prove its class over 60 minutes if it is to win this time. In any case, Lerg's return to the champions' goal did the Parco team a lot of good and gave them additional security. Alleghe will once again try to exploit his strengths on the power play. And then Adam Henrich should also be extremely motivated when it comes to playing against his former club again. The home team only has one extra foreigner sent to the stands, while the guests are missing Alberto Fontanive, DeToni and Haverinen.
