Series A: Ritten and Neumarkt are fighting against a taboo

WSV Vipiteno - HC Asiago

The start of the ninth round of the championship is the match between Milan and Cortina, which will take place at 18.30:0 p.m. An hour later, the next games take place, including the Broncos' home game against league leaders Asiago. While the guests were able to win all of the last five games, Sterzing is still clearly lacking consistency. The 5:XNUMX against Val Gardena should serve as a warning signal for the Kammerer team and at the same time be an incentive to take a significant step in the right direction against Asiago.

HC Pustertal - SHC Fassa

The HCP has firmly planned for three points in the home game against Fassa. After the 5:2 against the penultimate Kaltern, the full points should now also be scored against the bottom team from Trentino. The Bruneckers are also urgently desperate for a win so as not to lose contact with the leading duo. The conditions for this are excellent on Saturday. Anything other than a clear victory for the Wolves against Fassa would be a big surprise.

Ritten Sport - HC Neumarkt

The most exciting showdown takes place in the Ritten Arena. Although Ritten and Neumarkt are currently far apart in the table, both teams are struggling with negative series. The Buam finally want to get their first home win. And when, if not now? Because HCN has slipped into a real earnings crisis in recent weeks. The most recent five championship games were all lost. Coach Flanagan's protégés still have another taboo to break, namely that they have yet to win against a team from the top half of the table this season. At least one series - whether at Ritten or Neumarkt - will end on Saturday.

HC Gherdeina - HC Eppan

The second duel between two local clubs will take place in the Pranives Stadium at 20.30 p.m. HC Gherdeina wants to keep its white derby vest. The “Furie” have won all previous meetings with their local rivals Kaltern, Pustertal, Ritten and Vipiteno. Now they don't want to stop at Eppan, especially since the Pirates stumbled badly recently and dropped a lot of points.

HC Valpellice - SV Kaltern

After the games against Asiago and Pustertal, the Hechte face the next big hurdle on Saturday. They play in the difficult away game in Torre Pellice. While the Piedmontese want to settle in the top third of the table, Kaltern is still hunting for its second win of the season. It takes a real show of strength against Valpellice in order not to leave the ice as a loser again.
