LIVESTREAM Germany PPV: Ravensburg Razorbacks @ Allgäu Comets, Aug. 31, 15:00 CET (3 pm, 9 am ET)

| Allgau Comets | 08/31/2025

The Allgäu Comets (2-7) host the Ravensburg Razorbacks (6-4) at Illerstadion in a pivotal GFL South matchup, with the visitors aiming to secure playoff home-field advantage and the Comets seeking redemption after a narrow first-leg defeat.

Playoff implications for Ravensburg
A win would solidify the Razorbacks’ lead in the South, potentially clinching the division title. With 95 points separating them from the Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns in tiebreaker scenarios, Ravensburg controls its destiny. The Munich Cowboys (5-4) and Pforzheim Wilddogs (max 7 wins) remain threats, but head-to-head advantages favor the Razorbacks.

First-leg lessons
Ravensburg’s 56-21 rout of Pforzheim showcased their offensive firepower, led by QB McGovern’s connection with WRs Tim Müller and Anthony Harris, alongside RB Lennies McFerren’s scoring prowess. However, the Comets nearly stunned them in their initial meeting, leading by three touchdowns before collapsing late. Head coach John Gilligan stressed avoiding another sluggish start: “We must replicate the intensity from the Pforzheim game.”

Comets’ offensive resurgence
Despite injuries, including QB Dr. Greene’s uncertain status, Allgäu’s no-huddle offense under HC/OC Elias Gniffke poses a threat. QBs Conor Regan and Geoff Green distribute to playmakers like Dominik Hörner, Elias Kraljevic, and Nicco Formosa, while an improving ground game tests defenses. DC Nic Soupidis’ unit, though battered, held Ravensburg in check for three quarters earlier this season.

Injury uncertainties and derby intensity
Allgäu’s lineup remains fluid, with Greene and others nursing knocks. Sporting director Oliver Billstein acknowledged the challenge: “Derby motivation often overrides injuries.” The Comets’ home crowd could amplify their aggressive, fast-paced style, while Ravensburg’s defense must contain their explosive receivers.

Strategic stakes
For Ravensburg, disciplined execution is key to neutralizing Allgäu’s tempo and securing a playoff berth. The Comets, eliminated from contention, aim to play spoiler and build momentum for 2025. A Razorbacks victory edges them closer to a title; an upset reignites the South’s chaotic playoff race.

Kickoff at Illerstadion tests whether Ravensburg’s consistency trumps Allgäu’s desperation in a rivalry defined by volatility.
