Series A2: Can Kaltern hold its own in the pursuit duel against Meran?

EV Bozen 84 Groupon – WSV Vipiteno Weihenstephan

In the Bozen ice wave, class leader Vipiteno meets bottom team EV Bozen on Wednesday. The Wipptalers want to continue to assert their supremacy after their recent victory in Neumarkt. EV Bozen 84, on the other hand, would like to finish the regular season, which still has seven match days, as well as possible after the defeat against Pergine. “It was an unfortunate season, we want to give it our all again in the remaining matches. Above all, the boys should take advantage of the opportunity to gain valuable experience for the future,” said Bolzano attacker Christian Timpone. Oliver Schenk and probably defender Luca Franza (back problem) are missing from the home team. Sterzing has to give way to Daniel Erlacher and Stefan Ramoser, while Luca Scardoni could celebrate his return.

SV Kaltern Rothoblaas – HC Meran Pircher

The top game of the 36th matchday: The home side are in fourth place in the table, but are only one point ahead of the Passerstadt team, who have recently celebrated five successes in a row. After the defeat in the penalty shootout against Eppan, the Hechte are burning for compensation and want to leave the Raiffeisen Arena with their heads held high for the second home game in a row. Not easy, because Meran is currently one of the strongest teams in the league and has its sights set on third place. As far as the lineups are concerned, the Überetscher have to work without the injured Thomas Waldthaler and Patrick Thomaser, who is serving the last game of his suspension. At Meran, however, Thomas Mitterer has to stay away until further notice due to a shoulder injury and a comeback from Michael Stocker is also in the stars. Viktor Wallin and Patrick Cainelli may be back in the game.

HC Neumarkt Riwega – HC Gherdeina

In the second home game in a row, the Unterlanders want to score fully in the game against HC Gherdeina in order to stay on the heels of the Broncos, who they had to admit defeat to last Sunday. Coach Joe West's team, like Val Gardena, lost the last two games. On the 35th matchday, the Ladins were left behind against Meran. In the current season, HC Gherdeina was only able to beat the Wildgänse once, namely on the first matchday (September 28th) with 7:6 goals. The home side will still be without Matteo Peiti, Paolo Bustreo and Alex Sullmann. With the exception of Aaron Pitschieler, who received a three-match ban after a body check against Thomas Mitterer from Merano, the guests will be in full action.

HC Eppan Sarah – Hockey Pergine Sapiens

HC Eppan is looking for confirmation after the penalty victory over Kaltern and wants to finish the regular season in third place in the table if possible. In order to achieve this, the Überetscher must bring more continuity to their results. The Trentino team, on the other hand, will travel to Eppan without any pressure: for them the playoff train has already left and in the remaining seven games of the regular season, the main thing for them is to increase the number of points in the table . The hosts will have to make do without Patrick Wallenberg and Alex Rottensteiner on Wednesday. Alberto Meneghini has to pass for Pergine.
