EV Fürstenfeldbruck fights for revenge against Ottobrunn – pure excitement!

EV Fürstenfeldbruck faces an important task this evening, November 14, 2025. At 7:45 p.m. it's against ERSC Ottobrunn in the home ice stadium, and the team around coach Philipp Steidle is eager for revenge. In the last two duels against the Ottobrunners, the EVF suffered bitter defeats – 5:6 and 2:4. These setbacks have cost the team a few places in the table, so they are currently in last place.

Although the recent performances have not been great, there are also bright spots. The impressive 7:3 win against ERC Bad Aibling on Friday showed that the team has potential. Steidle praised his team's performance that day and made it clear that the selection on Sunday in the game against Ottobrunn fell well short of expectations. It was particularly painful that a five-minute power play could not be used to turn the game around. “We have to get over the mistakes and train better,” emphasizes Steidle.

Necessary success in the fight to stay in the league

In the current situation, the EVF urgently needs successes against the teams in the bottom third of the table in order not to have to worry about relegation. Coach Steidle plans to make the most of the second week of training on his own ice to prepare the team well for the home game. “It is important to have a homogeneous team that consistently performs well,” said the coach.

The last matches against Ottobrunn showed how close the games can be. In the most recent meeting, the first goal came from Ottobrunn's new signing Stefano Rizzo in the 14th minute, who then scored a total of two goals. Lennart Guttenthaler and Philipp Pechlaner were the goal scorers for the EVF. Guttenthaler managed to score the next goal in the 19th minute, which briefly gave hope, but ultimately was not enough to turn the game around.

The focus is on the next home game

The team already has the next home game against EV Ravensburg in mind, which is scheduled for November 21st. The demands are clear: every game counts in the relegation battle and no points can be given away. “We have to go into the game with full concentration and the right mindset,” Steidle appeals to his players. This home game could be crucial, not only for the current season, but also for the team feeling and the future course of the league.

The mood in the team remains optimistic despite the setbacks. The squad has enough quality to bring about a turnaround. Time will tell whether EV Fürstenfeldbruck can turn things around this evening. Fans and team can be excited to see how the game will develop.
