The EC Peiting is allowed to run again: At HC Landsberg, the team's second forced Corona break ends.
The game against the bottom of the table will not be easy.
Peiting - The second Corona compulsory break at EC Peiting in this league season is over.
Today, Wednesday evening, coach Sebastian Buchwieser's team will return to play at HC Landsberg (8 p.m.) after an almost three-week break.
"Even if we lost the rhythm of the game, the break may have been good for us," says Buchwieser.
He hopes that his team has gotten rid of the negative streak, which it earned with just one win in five games at the end of 2020.
On paper, the bottom of the league from Landsberg, against whom the ECP landed the last triple point win on December 20 with a 6-1 home win, is also a very suitable opponent to regain lost self-confidence.
Despite the modest record of last year's Bayern league club, Buchwieser pressed the euphoria brake: "We mustn't underestimate the opponent, Landsberg has played well recently.", The "River Kings" have only won one win in their 18 games so far.
But not only the meager yield of just four points ensures that they are moping in Landsberg.
Adriano Carciola was also recently injured.
The brother of HCL coach Fabio Carciola, who is one of the Landsberger's few goal-threatening strikers, will be out for the rest of the season with a shoulder injury.
"Nevertheless, it will not be an easy task," says Buchwieser, who, as the penultimate, does not necessarily see his team in the role of favorites - Peitinger Coach has this assessment before most games.

However, the Peitingers are not complete either: Supports such as Dominic Krabbat or Tim Rohrbach, who have not received approval from their employer, are missing from the team, as are the current Corona cases.
But Fabian Weyrich, who was injured before the break, is back in the team.
But that doesn't change the fact that the Peitinger are still far from an optimal cast.
Nevertheless, Coach Buchwieser has complete confidence in his playful staff: "We still have a good team on the ice that is rested after the break and has also trained highly motivated."
Now it is important to transfer the appealing training performance to the point game operation.
“We want to show a good performance and we have to play better than in December,” demands the ECP coach, who has a mammoth program ahead of him with his team in the near future to catch up on the canceled games.
The Peitinger have played the fewest games in the Oberliga Süd so far (13).
For comparison: League leader Selb has been on the ice 22 times this season.
"It's going to be many English weeks now, but we'll take the game plan as it comes," Buchwieser doesn't want to complain.
