On Wednesday there are two early games of the 45th round on the program in the win2day ICE Hockey League, in which both Hungarian representatives are involved. The reason for this is the Hungarian Cup Final4, which takes place at the end of January, on the regular date of this round. While Hydro Fehérvár AV19 welcomes HCB Südtirol Alperia, the duel between the Steinbach Black Wings Linz and FTC-Telekom is about particularly important points in the fight for the top 10. Budapest is currently in eighth place, one point ahead of the ninth-placed Black Wings.
It is the third duel of the season between the Steinbach Black Wings Linz and FTC-Telekom. So far, the home team has prevailed (3:1 BWL, 3:2 FTC). With a total of 47 points, FTC is currently in eighth place, three points ahead of eleventh-placed Villach, while Linz is two points ahead of eleventh place with one point less. Both teams can take a big step towards the pre-playoffs on Wednesday. The current form speaks for the Black Wings, who were recently defeated 1:4 in Ljubljana, but before that they celebrated four wins from five games. The Hungarians won two home games last weekend, but previously suffered six defeats in a row. They have been waiting for success away from home for three games.
Bolzano is visiting Fehérvár
In the second Wednesday game, seventh-placed Hydro Fehérvár AV19 will face fourth-placed HCB Südtirol Alperia. The guests from Bolzano can catch up with third-place Salzburg in terms of points with a win after regular playing time. Fehérvár, on the other hand, is already eight points behind sixth-placed Pustertal, but at the same time eight points ahead of eleventh-placed Villach. The previous two direct duels of the season each went to the home team (3:2/SO AVS, 3:0 HCB). The guests from Bolzano are currently in very good form, they have always been able to score points in the last eight games. However, they lost their last three games after overtime or shootouts. Fehérvár recently lost to the Pioneers at home with 2:3/SO, previously they celebrated three wins in a row. For all Italian fans, the game can be seen in a free live stream on DAZN Italia.
