Series A2: After the break there is an endurance test

EV Bozen 84 Groupon – WSV Vipiteno Weihenstephan

The class leader travels to the Bozen Eiswelle on Tuesday, where the EV Bozen 84 is waiting for him. The Wipptalers want to celebrate their ninth win in a row and successfully defend their first place in the table, which they share with Neumarkt. Meanwhile, the people of Bolzano have lost their two most recent games and after the 4:10 defeat in their last meeting with the Broncos, they now want to take revenge. As far as the lineups are concerned, EV Bozen has to work without defensive player Christian Fabbretti. The Broncos, meanwhile, have to do without Patrick Mair, Luca Scardoni and Daniel Erlacher, while it is still unclear whether Christian Sottsas (flu) can be used. U20 national player Daniel Maffia is available again.

HC Neumarkt Riwega – HC Gherdeina

Neumarkt will play in front of their home crowd on Tuesday and wants to forget the slip-up against Vipiteno in the penalty shootout as quickly as possible. The Wild Geese will rely primarily on the home advantage, but should not underestimate HC Gherdeina: The Val Gardena team will have gained a lot of self-confidence with their win over Meran on the last match day and they have never made things easy for the Unterlanders so far this season. Neumarkt has to give way to Kevin Zucal, while Michael Sullmann is back from the U20 World Championship. Flavio Faggioni's timely recovery is still up in the air. The interim coach of HC Gherdeina Pepi Linder, however, has to make do without Fabio Kostner.

HC Eppan Sarah – Hockey Pergine Sapiens

Eppan is lying in wait in the table behind the top duo Vipiteno and Neumarkt with just two points and is hoping for a misstep by the two teams on Tuesday. The Mensonen team was victorious in the last three matches and, despite the many failures, is one of the strongest teams in the tournament. But Pergine was also able to enjoy two successes in a row recently. Eppan will play without Patrick Wallenberg, Alex Rottensteiner, Stefan Unterkofler and Luca Sartore, but new signing Tuomo Harjula will make his debut in the yellow and blue jersey. Pergine coach Marco Liberatore is spoiled for choice - the entire squad is at his disposal.

SV Kaltern Rothoblaas – HC Meran Pircher

In Kaltern, the home team wants to defend their fourth place on Tuesday and maintain their five-point lead over the Merano team. In addition, the Hechte are burning for compensation after the defeat in the derby against Eppan. However, the Merano team also wants to get back to winning ways on the next match day after suffering five defeats recently, the most recent of which was against HC Gherdeina. In order to achieve this, the Eagles' defense, which has conceded a total of 31 goals in the last five games, must be alert. Kaltern coach Thomas Sandlin can make the most of it on Tuesday. At Meran, Taggart Desmet, Thomas Mitterer, U20 player Daniel Frank and goalie Vincenzo Marozzi are celebrating their return, while Michael Stocker is still struggling with his injury.
