LIVESTREAM Germany PPV: Berlin Rebels @ Saarland Hurricanes, July 19, 16:00 CET (4 pm, 10 am ET)

| American Football | 07/19/2025

The Saarland Hurricanes (3-5) welcome the Berlin Rebels (5-2) to Hermann-Neuberger-Stadion on Saturday, July 19, in a matchup critical to both teams’ postseason aspirations. With Berlin pushing for a top North Division seed and Saarland fighting to stay alive in the South, this interconference clash promises high stakes.

Rebels ride momentum with familiar foe under center
Berlin arrives on a four-game winning streak, fueled by quarterback Connor Kaegi—a former Hurricanes starter whose knowledge of Saarland’s schemes adds intrigue. Kaegi (1,220 passing yards, 16 TDs) will challenge a Hurricanes defense allowing 261 points this season. The Rebels’ third-ranked North offense (205 points scored) aims to exploit Saarland’s league-worst South defense.

Hurricanes seek consistency after bye week
Fresh off a 54-38 victory over the Allgäu Comets, Saarland’s offense looks to build momentum behind quarterback Walter Kuhlenkamp, whose versatility shined in that win. The bye week provided time to refine a unit averaging 28.8 points per game, though defensive struggles (35.3 points allowed per game) remain a concern.

Playoff stakes amplify intensity
A Berlin win would solidify their North standing, while Saarland—sixth in the South—must prevail to avoid falling further behind. Their last meeting, a 39-38 Rebels victory in 2024, underscores the narrow margins at play. Saarland’s offense, featuring receiver duo Spencer Corona and Evan Liggett (combined 12 TDs), aims to replicate their 38-point output from that nail-biter.

Key matchup: Kaegi vs. former teammates
Berlin’s quarterback faces a Hurricanes defense familiar with his tendencies from 2024 joint practices. Saarland’s secondary, allowing 231.4 passing yards per game, must limit Kaegi’s scrambles and deep throws to stay competitive. Conversely, Berlin’s defense—second in the North with 177 points allowed—targets Kuhlenkamp’s evolving pocket presence.

Home-field advantage meets road resilience
Saarland’s 3-2 home record contrasts with Berlin’s 3-1 road performance. The Hurricanes’ aerial attack (1,934 passing yards) could thrive under home support, but Berlin’s disciplined pass rush (21 sacks) aims to disrupt their rhythm. With playoff hopes in the balance, execution under pressure will decide this GFL thriller.
