LIVESTREAM German Semifinal: Dresden Monarchs @ Ravensburg Razorbacks, Sept. 27, 17:00 CET (5 pm, 11 am ET)

| American Football | 09/27/2025

The Ravensburg Razorbacks host the Dresden Monarchs in the ERIMA German Football League semifinals on Saturday, September 27, pitting the league’s best offense against one of its most opportunistic defenses in what promises to be an electrifying playoff matchup at TeleData Stadium in Weingarten.

Offensive firepower on display
This semifinal features a spectacular quarterback duel between Dresden’s Justin Miller (3,590 passing yards) and Ravensburg’s Broghean McGovern (3,556 passing yards). The Monarchs boast the league’s top offense with 546 points scored, led by receiver Tylor Hudson (1,790 yards, 25 touchdowns) and running back Tofunmi Lala (1,269 yards, 15 touchdowns). The Razorbacks counter with their own weapons, including receiver Anthony Harris (1,216 yards) and Tim Müller (972 yards), creating what should be a high-scoring affair between two potent passing attacks.

Defensive keys to victory
While offense dominates the storyline, defense may decide this contest. The Razorbacks lead the league in interceptions and feature defensive standout Ben Rashid, who recorded 14 sacks including four in the quarterfinal victory. Their ability to pressure Miller and contain Hudson will be critical against a Monarchs offense that averaged 42 points per game during the regular season. Dresden’s defense, which allowed only 262 points during the season, must find answers for McGovern’s diverse passing attack and avoid the defensive lapses that allowed 33 points in their previous meeting.

Playoff implications and history
The winner advances to the GFL Bowl on October 11 in Dresden, adding extra motivation for the visiting Monarchs to reach a championship game on their home field. The Razorbacks seek to continue their historic season after reaching their first semifinal in club history. Home field advantage could prove significant as Ravensburg enjoys support from over 2,200 passionate fans in their intimate stadium. Despite Dresden’s 49-33 victory in their July meeting, both teams have improved throughout the season, setting the stage for a much closer contest with a championship game berth at stake.
