Duel against Salzburg in the ice arena
Sunday. December 4th, with the game starting at 4:30 p.m. (live broadcast on VB33), the Weißroten are in action against EC Red Bull Salzburg in the city of Mozart. In yesterday’s game in Innsbruck, the Austrians were able to record a win again with a 5:2 victory over the Tyroleans after four defeats in the series. The Red Bull are currently in third place with 39 points from 20 games and are the first pursuers of Bolzano, who are in second place with 44 points from 21 games. The ranking list is led by Innsbruck with +3 points on Bozen, although the Tyroleans played two more games. It is already the third direct meeting of the season between the two teams, the previous meetings were both won by Bozen: on October 7th 5-2 in Salzburg and on November 6th 1-0 in the Sparkasse Arena. This match brings together the two strongest defenses in the league, with the Foxes conceding 49 goals and the Red Bulls conceding 45.
Tuesday home game against Vienna
17 days after the last home game, the foxes return to the Sparkassen-Arena on Tuesday, December 6th. The match against the spusu Vienna Capitals, originally scheduled for February 18, will kick off at 7:45 p.m. Since the match on November 29th in the STEFFL Arena could not be played due to a defect in the cooling system, the two teams decided to swap home rights: the foxes are therefore expected in Vienna on February 19th. But let’s go back 17 days: on November 19th it was the Capitals who inflicted the first home defeat on the Talferstadt side with a 5:3 win. Bolzano still has a score to settle and wants to win again in front of its own audience.
Location near Bolzano
Due to the cancellation of the game against Vienna, the Weißrote Woche was able to use this week for several training sessions under the supervision of Glen Hanlon and Assistant Fabio Armani. The coaching duo can expect Cameron Ginnetti to return for Sunday’s game, while Dylan Di Perna is struggling with an injury that has yet to be detailed. On the other hand, the use of Hannes Kasslatter is questionable due to the death of his father, Diego Glück could make his season debut in his place.
