HC Pustertal is in third place before the last round of the regular season phase 1. Mathematically the wolves would still have a chance for the second place, but for this Ritten would have to give points against the Linz team. With the third place Pustertal would start the pick round with two bonus points. For the Viennese it is only a matter of a good finish, they are already in the Qualification Group A without bonus points.

Referees: LAZZERI, WALLNER, De Zordo, Rinker
Lustenau vs. Feldkirch is one of two direct duels between two teams, both of which still have a chance to reach the top 6. The Falcons have the much better starting position, as they have the advancement to the pick round in their own hands. Fassa is through with three points. Lustenau, on the other hand, is dependent on several other results. The Vorarlbergers ended their six-game losing streak against Ljubljana in the last round.

S.G. Cortina Hafro against VEU Feldkirch is the second direct duel between two teams with chances for the top 6.
