Serie A: Ritten and the HCB are “fighting” for the lead in the table

Master round

Ritten Sport Renault Trucks – HC Bozen A bang to start the English week. Ritten Sport and HC Bozen face each other in Klobenstein. For the home team it is the second South Tyrolean derby within 72 hours, because on Saturday the Wilson team had to go to the Pustertal to see the wolves. There Ritten won 1-0 and the “Buam” would like to top this success with a win against the record champions. If they succeed in this coup, Ritten would even take the lead in the Master Round. Bolzano travels to the high plateau with the confidence from the away win against Alleghe. With a “threesome” against the Rittner, the Foxes would extend their lead over the hosts from Tuesday to six points. Things will be hot in the 97th derby between the two clubs. Ritten has to do without the trio Ryan Ramsay, Alex Frei and Alexander Eisath. Christian Walcher could return to the ice at Bozen, while Marco Insam is unlikely to play.

HC Valpellice Bodino Engineering – Wolves Fiat Professional

The new edition of the Italian Cup semi-final between Valpellice and the Wolves will take place in the Valmora Arena. The hosts, who were free to play on Saturday, would like to repeat the success of January 12th against the Puster team. After the defeat against Ritten, the HCP cannot afford any further missteps in order not to lose sight of first place in the table after the Master Round. Paul Baier will probably be missing from Valpe, while Wolves have serious injury concerns. In addition to Ben Guitè, Patrick Bona and Benno Obermair, Lukas Crepaz will also be missing, who injured his meniscus and will probably not be able to play for three weeks. On top of that, the sports judge suspended Pat Kavanagh for two games. Although injured, Tuuka Mäkelä and Armin Helfer will have to bite their teeth.

Relegation Round

Hafro Cortina – Milano Rossoblu

A big classic is taking place in the Olympic Stadium, which also involves very valuable points. According to the standings, Cortina is certainly under more pressure than the guests from Milan. The Ampezzanians are six points behind the team from Lombardy and need to win if they want to catch up with the Insam team. Milan are looking to record their second consecutive away win after the Lombards' success in Canazei on Saturday. Derek Edwardson will be missing from the host team due to injury, while Andrea Moser was suspended for one match day by the sports referee. Milan, on the other hand, will have to do without Matt Ryan, who also has to serve a suspension. Diego Iori returns to the team, Angelo Esposito will make his debut in the Milan dress number “77”.

Aquile FVG Pontebba – Migross Supermercati Asiago At the Vuerich Stadium, Pontebba is back to scoring points after a game day break against Asiago. The team from Friuli is bottom with six points eight rounds before the end of the relegation round. The Eagles can almost certainly avoid the play-off. Nevertheless, Pontebba still wants to score, which is why Asiago has to be on the lookout. The former champion is currently leading the rankings in the relegation round and of course wants to maintain or expand his lead. Most recently, Asiago prevailed at home against Cortina – thanks to a gala performance. As far as the lineups are concerned, Miroslav Guren, Petr Sachl and Daniele Odoni are missing from Pontebba. Erik Weissmann's commitment is up in the air. The guests have to do without Enrico Miglioranzi. The defender is blocked.
