EV Moosburg is going to play the catch-up game in Vilshofen on Tuesday - and it has a lot to make up for.
Because the sting of the opening failure is still deep.
Moosburg
- EV Moosburg will play its catch-up game at ESC Vilshofen on Tuesday evening at 8 p.m.
The original appointment at the end of November had been canceled due to the high incidence values in the Passau district.
Now it should finally work for the green-yellow with the revenge for the bitter 6-7 defeat at the start of the season in the Clariant Arena.
The sting is still deep in the league leaders from the Dreirosenstadt.
Because the EVM appeared pomady at the time and let an ESC rump team snap away the home win that had already been believed to be safe.
The hosts turned a 5-4 lead at the end of the second and the beginning of the third period into a 5-7 within two and a half minutes.
The Moosburg team around the then ailing top striker Miloslav Horava only managed to hit the next goal.
Coach Bernie Englbrecht was accordingly angry after the game: "We were wild birds on the road, we did a stupid job and therefore deservedly lost."
Hot race for the playoff places
In the meantime, the trainer's mood has improved.
After the bumpy start to the season, the EVM team around captain Bastian Krämmer got together better and better and collected the necessary points to keep the ambitions of participating in the championship round alive.
Most recently Moosburg celebrated four wins in a row against Bayreuth, Selb, Pegnitz and Freising and is currently leading the national league table with 30 points.
But only because the EVM is the only one of the top teams to have played 15 games.
Dingolfing, Pegnitz, Haßfurt and Waldkirchen could theoretically pass by.
(By the way: Everything from the region is now also available in our regular Freising newsletter.)
Coach Englbrecht knows that too: “The 6-2 win in Freising was very important.
Now I hope that we can play a good game in Vilshofen and still score points there in order to take another step towards the promotion round. "
Vilshofen received a pack of ten on Christmas Day
After a decent start to the season, Vilshofen recently got a little out of step.
In December, a win against Trostberg faced four defeats against Waldkirchen (2), Pegnitz and Dingolfing.
In the table, Lower Bavaria slipped to eighth place.
On Christmas Day the wolves even received a double-digit clap at 2:10 am in Dingolfing.
EVM striker Horava doesn't want to know anything about such statistics and playoff projections: “We only look from game to game, because every game is different in this league.
We have to be fully concentrated against every opponent. "
