League leaders Sisak visit Asiago | Ritten hosts Kitzbühel in Top-5 clash

HC Migross Asiago – KHL Sisak
After three straight losses, Asiago returned to winning ways on Friday with a victory in Kitzbühel – an important result in the race for a Top-5 finish. Sisak, meanwhile, celebrated back-to-back wins to reclaim the league lead. In the previous head-to-head meetings this season, both teams claimed away victories.

HDD Jesenice – EK Die Zeller Eisbären
Jesenice have shown strong form recently, beating top teams Sisak and Ritten, and currently sit in tenth place. Zell am See, on the other hand, suffered two consecutive defeats but still occupy third position in the standings. The Pinzgau side has won the last five encounters between the two teams, including a narrow 4–3 victory in the season opener.

Rittner Buam SkyAlps – EC Kitzbühel
Fifth meets fourth as Ritten hosts Kitzbühel in Klobenstein. The Buam are in excellent shape, winning four of their last five games, including a convincing 5–1 success at Bregenzerwald. The Tyroleans travel with several injury concerns but have won both previous season matchups – each by a three-goal margin.

Wipptal Broncos Weihenstephan – S.G. Cortina Hafro
With a 4–3 win in Zell am See on Friday, Sterzing gained a boost in confidence. Cortina, however, are currently on an even better run, having celebrated six consecutive victories and sitting eighth in the standings, three points clear of the Broncos. The season series is tied 1–1 so far, with both teams winning at home.

HC Gherdeina valgardena.it – EC Bregenzerwald
Bregenzerwald missed a chance to break into the Top-5 after losing at home to Ritten. Over their last five outings, the Vorarlberg team have alternated between wins and losses. Gardena, after two strong wins, suffered a setback with a 1–4 defeat in Sisak and are currently eleventh. It’s already the third meeting between these sides within three weeks – each time, the home team has come out on top.

HC Meran/o Pircher – Hockey Unterland Cavaliers
Meran’s recent games have followed a win-loss pattern – in their last seven, no result has repeated. On Friday, the Eagles narrowly lost to Cortina in a shootout. They now host bottom-placed Unterland. The Cavaliers have picked up points in their last three games but lost two of them. This season, both teams have managed away victories in their head-to-head encounters.
