Table leaders EC Red Bull Salzburg are guests today, Wednesday (7:45 p.m. / live.ice.hockey), at table bottom HCB Südtirol Alperia. For youngster Kilian Zündel, the foxes are an extremely unpleasant opponent. And the 21-year-old, who was in the Red Bulls squad in 42 of 43 games this season, is probably right. Because the South Tyroleans have won six of the last eight duels.

Kilian Zündel is now an integral part of EC Red Bull Salzburg. The 21-year-old defender has featured in 42 of 43 games for the Red Bulls this season. With Bozen, the people of Mozart are dealing with a feared opponent. The foxes won six of the last eight duels between the two teams.

National player Zündel also shows respect for the South Tyroleans: “Bolzano are a very good team. Whether defensive, offensive, simply everywhere. We have to adapt, adapt our game to theirs. But if we are disciplined, then we should win.”

Salzburg can fix playoff participation
From the Red Bulls’ point of view, a win against Bozen would not only be important to improve the direct record, but also to finally secure the playoff qualification. A defeat after overtime or a shootout is enough for this.

A win would be extremely important for Bolzano in order not to lose sight of the top 6 and thus the direct playoff qualification. The sixth cross-competition duel of the season between Bozen and Salzburg can be seen LIVE from 7:45 p.m. on live.ice.hockey.
