Linz last victory at Bolzano dates back December 1st, 2019, winning 4-3 thanks to goals from Andreas Kristler and Brian Lebler, who are still part of the Black Wings roster and both players have recently set milestones: Kristler played 650 league game on Tuesday against Salzburg, Lebler will head into his 550th game on Friday in Dornbirn. With an almost complete line-up – the decision whether to use Dalibor Bortnak is still pending – the Upper Austrians want to avert the impending "season sweep". Bolzano, which recently celebrated three wins in a row and has always gained points in the last six games, won the previous season's encounters: While it still needed an overtime in the first duel (4:3), the "Foxes", which might have Luca Frigo back on Friday, clearly prevailed twice (3:1 and 5:1).
