Serie A: Pustertal against Asiago the “showpiece” of the eighth matchday

Wolves Fiat Professional Pustertal – Supermercati Migross Asiago

When the Wolves meet the Italian champions, it cannot be said to be a “normal” game. Last season's final play-off left its mark on both sides, which is why we can expect another great fight between these two clubs. The triumph in the Supercup will not have satisfied the Wolves; they are hungry for more victories against their arch-rivals from Lombardy.

But Asiago has proven that it is still one of the strongest clubs in the league in attack and has a very strong defense. Erlacher will be missing from the home team due to injury, Asiago will have to make up Benetti, who had to leave the ice prematurely against Cortina. There is also a rotation among foreigners, as Asiago has two more transfer card players than allowed.

Ritten Sport Renault Trucks - SHC Fassa

League leader Fassa wants to get back to winning ways in Klobenstein after an unexpected defeat against Pontebba. Ritten will certainly not be laying out a red carpet for its neighbor from Trentino - on the contrary.

For their part, the Buam will do everything they can to keep the three points on the high plateau. Because the championship is so evenly balanced this year, it seems difficult to make a prediction. On the one hand, because Ritten has improved enormously in recent games - and on the other hand, because Fassa is one of the surprise teams in the league. So you can be surprised who gets to celebrate victory in this game.

HC Bozen – HC Valpellice Banca di Cherasco

Valpellice got a lot of momentum against Ritten - the Piedmontese team recently scored an important victory. Now the Bulldogs would like to score points away for the first time in the Talferstadt. The people of Bolzano are also coming off a win - in the derby against Vipiteno, the white-reds won 2-1 away.

But on the one hand, the Bolzano attack game in the Wipptal didn't necessarily go as planned and the Foxes also went into the match against the Bulldogs in a weak state. Coach Adolf Insam not only has to do without the long-term injured Christian Walcher, Marco Insam and most likely Rogers are also missing from the record champions' ranks. This means that the squad is already in worrying conditions.

As usual, the Piedmontese will use four attacking lines, while Urquhart will be missing in defense. However, the defender is already working on his comeback.

Hafro SG Cortina – WSV Vipiteno Weihenstephan

After seven match days, Cortina under its new coach Stefan Mair can no longer be described as a surprise team, because the new man on the sidelines has already drilled his playing philosophy and system into the Ampezzan team. The club from the 1956 Olympic venue has the second-best attack in the league and - thanks to an excellent Levassuer in goal - the second-best defensive department. The location in the sun is anything but a coincidence.

On the other side on Thursday will be the Broncos from Vipiteno, who will feel the difference in class between the first league and the A2. The Wipptalers have been waiting for a win for five match days. Maybe we'll get the points we're hoping for against Cortina. However, it won't be easy, because after Pichler and Stofner, the Vipiteno hospital has gained well-known access with Bustreo. The attacker will be out until the end of February due to a serious shoulder injury.

HC Alleghe Tegola Canadese - Aquile FVG Pontebba

A few weeks ago you would have been betting on Alleghe's victory in this encounter, but the cup team has surprised so far this season and that's why anything is possible in the De Toni Stadium. Both teams have eleven points in the table, but the squads of the two opponents couldn't be more different.

Here Alleghe, which has many top-class foreigners in its ranks, there Pontebba, which has to make do with a very small squad and drives opponents to desperation with its “desperado hockey”. So McKenna and his top players like Henrich, Card and Hogeboom have been warned and will certainly not underestimate the visitors in order to secure three points towards qualifying for the Italian Cup.
