LIVESTREAM: France – Thonon Black Panthers v. Marseille Blue Stars – May 5, (7p CEST, 1p EST)

The Marseille Blue Stars (5-2) travel to Thonon-les-Bains May 5 to take on the first place Thonon Black Panthers (6-1 FFFA Elite, 0-1 EFL) in a battle between two of the best teams in France.

The Black Panthers defeated Marseilles 18-6 two months ago in the only other meeting between these two teams. Since that game, Thonon has won three of their last five games which included a surprising loss to Spain’s Badalona Dracs in European Football League play.

The Blue Stars have the best defense in France after seven games having given up only 65 points or 9.3 points a game. Meanwhile, Thonon has the second best offense having scored 172 points so far this year. Marseille’s only other loss this year was a tight 7-6 decision to the La Courneuve Flash from Paris.

With only three weeks left in the season four teams are battling for three playoff spots and each game is crucial.
