Pure excitement: Derby Day in the Alps Hockey League await fans!

Bozen - on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, an exciting match day is coming up in the Alps Hockey League. Especially in the focus of the fans, the deliberate derby between Adler Stadtwerke Kitzbühel and EK is the Zeller Eisbären. This duel, which causes a lot of vertebrae in the league, is not only a game for points, but also a sign of the rivalry between the two teams, which are only separated by two points. Kitzbühel is currently leading the table, while the Zeller Eisbären is the first chase.

The Zeller Eisbären have recently proven to be the "hot" players of the league. With six victories in a row, they have been attached to the heels of the Kitzbüheler and the motivation is high to recapture the lead. However, after a setback on Saturday against Jesenice, the Tyroleans have to give up with a 2: 5, which was their first defeat after four victories. This raises the question of whether you can catch yourself in good time before the derby. The first meeting of the two teams this season took place on September 28th when Kitzbühel triumphed with a 5: 2

The audience can also look forward to another exciting game: Sij Acroni Jesenice meets the Rittner Buam SkyAlps.
