Serie A: Derby time in Überetsch – Val Gardena can make everything clear

SV Kaltern – HC Eppan No less than 16 points separate bottom side Kaltern from ninth-placed Eppan, but dominance in Überetsch is still far from clear. The “Herrgottskinder” and the “Rattig” will play this out on Thursday evening in the Raiffeisen Arena. Both teams lost 2-5 to Neumarkt and Fassa on the last matchday, so the prestigious derby is exactly the right time to forget the recent missteps in the league and give your own supporters a longed-for sense of success.

HC Pustertal – Hockey Milano Rossoblu

The top game of the 20th round takes place on Thursday evening in the Rienz Stadium, where the Wolves invite their rivals Milan, who have the same points, to dance. With a victory in the chasing duel, the HCP could increase the pressure on league leaders Asiago and possibly even catapult themselves into first place. However, the Lombards, who are also only two points away from the top of the table, are pursuing the same goal. So there should be plenty of excitement in Bruneck.

HC Asiago – Ritten Sport

Asiago will defend its place in the sun with all its might two matchdays before the end of the regular season. The Rittner Buam, who are under a lot of pressure in the Odegar Stadium, also have to be prepared for this. The champions' form curve has recently been clearly pointing downwards and contact with the top of the table has been broken. Now it's important for Raymond's protégés to gain self-confidence, and a win against Asiago would come in handy.

SHC Fassa – HC Gherdeina

Meanwhile, a relatively relaxed evening is shaping up for HC Gherdeina. Fifth-placed Ritten is out of reach for the Ladins, but sixth place seems to be secured at the same time. A single point against the penultimate Fassa would be enough to secure a place in the Master Round. This task seems more than solvable. Val Gardena goes into the match as the big favorite.

WSV Vipiteno – HC Valpellice

Meanwhile, a mammoth task awaits the Broncos, who host third-placed Valpellice. The Wipptalers want to get back on the road to success after the defeat against Cortina in order to gain momentum before the start of the “playoff round”.

SG Cortina – HC Neumarkt

The wild geese from Neumarkt really want to start flying high on Thursday. The new signings Angel Krstev, Vojtech Kubincak and Jan Stehlik have recently given the HCN the necessary stability and goal threat to achieve the definitive turnaround. After the two wins against Fassa and Kaltern, we now have to improve against Cortina away from home.
