Series A2: Eppan and Vipiteno have the first match point

Playoff semifinals, game 5

WSV Vipiteno Weihenstephan – HC Gherdeina In the fifth game, the Broncos could close the bag and secure their hoped-for place in the final. The Hicks team will have to muster all their energy to do this, because Val Gardena can hardly wait to erase the damage from Wednesday's home game defeat. In the Pranives Stadium in Wolkenstein, the Broncos won the most important meeting to date thanks to a goal from Tobias Kofler 50 seconds before the end of extra time. Now the Ladins can't afford any more mistakes. HC Gherdeina knows how to win in the Weihenstephan Arena. The Prior team proved that in their first duel with Sterzingen. In what will certainly be a completely sold out cauldron, the guests want to do everything they can to ensure that the series doesn't come to an end on Friday. The home team is missing TJ Caig, who is on the mend and could play in a possible final. Daniel Erlacher is also not there, while Simon Baur will return to the team after serving his ban. However, Derek Eastman, who broke his nose, will bite his teeth. Simon Vinatzer's return to Val Gardena is questionable. Benjamin Kostner was also suspended for one game. Tickets cost 15 euros on Friday evening.

HC Neumarkt Riwega - HC Eppan Sarah In the Würth Arena, all ice hockey fans can look forward to an emotionally charged, nerve-wracking match between Neumarkt and Eppan. Eppan travels to the Unterland with three match points and can make everything clear with a win. After the defeat in Eppan after extra time, the Wild Geese have their backs to the wall and can no longer afford to make any mistakes. Neumarkt needs to be watched out for because of their strong squad – emphasizes Eppan's vice president Alexander Hofer: “They have a very strong team and I expect a battle. Nothing at all has been decided yet. I'm very happy with game four. We played a great first third, but allowed too much in the second half. We have to change our game system on Friday. Neumarkt certainly has more pressure than us. The key to success is discipline. If we stay calm and don't allow ourselves to be provoked, then we can win the series and move into the final. But we shouldn't take it lightly, because Neumarkt will definitely be playing for life and death from Friday." Neumarkt has to fend off the first match point in front of its own audience. Where the Pirates won the first semi-final game, but the Wild Geese managed a convincing victory in the third game. As far as the teams are concerned, both teams can play with their best players. Only Neumarkt's Giulio Bosetti will be missing. Tickets cost 15 euros, just like the other two semi-finals so far.
