Preview | Upside down worlds in the AlpsHL, hammer duel in the IHL

If not now then when? The Rittner Buam are probably thinking that before the upcoming games this week. With the Adlers from Kitzbühel and the Steel Wings Linz, the cracks from the high plateau have two table latecomers on the program. If they get a perfect number of points, they could not only move up one or two places in the table, but also gain a good cushion of points on the hated bottom of the table.

HC Ghërdeina and the Wipptal Broncos want to escape from that area. The Ladins have to face the Red Bull Juniors in Salzburg on Thursday before they await Jesenice in Wolkenstein on Saturday. The Broncos, on the other hand, only have one game on the calendar in the next few days, namely the one against the Steel Wings Linz on Thursday. Against the bottom of the table, a three-pointer is almost mandatory for the Wild Horses, who have been in poor form recently. The wolves can pull a leash HC Pustertal does not have such problems. Quite the opposite: The wolves greet you from the top of the table. They are two points ahead of Laibach, but have also played two more games than the Slovenians - a hot fight for first place is looming. In order to move further ahead, the next points should be scored in the upcoming duels against Jesenice and Bregenzerwald. Will the newcomers decide the top game? A fantastic game is coming up in the Italian Hockey League. The table leader from Kaltern awaits the title contender from Meran. Things will get hot in the Raiffeisen Arena in Altenburg on Thursday. The two of them should also ensure a victory for the people of Passerstadt Ahlström brothers who switched to the reigning Italian champions at the beginning of the week.

The Cavaliers' next duel is on Thursday. The Unterlanders have been playing well recently and can confirm their great form against the penultimate team from Pergine with another win. Two days later they will face a much more difficult task with HC Meran. The Falcons are back on the ice: in Brixen they host HC Varese. In addition, Eppan im Überetsch, bottom of the table, hosts third-from-last Alleghe - it's time for the Pirates to score points again. This week's games Program League encounter Time of day 14.01.
