LIVESTREAM Germany PPV: Ravensburg Razorbacks @ Pforzheim Wilddogs, June 8, 15:00 CET (3 pm, 9 am ET)

| American Football | 06/08/2025

The undefeated Pforzheim Wilddogs (3-0) host the winless Ravensburg Razorbacks (0-2) at Kramski Arena in a German Football League South clash highlighting contrasting early-season trajectories.

The Wilddogs’ commanding start
Pforzheim’s flawless record, shared with the Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns, stems from dominance on both sides of the ball. Quarterback Dre Harris leads the division with an 81% completion rate and a 139.3 passer rating, spearheading an offense averaging 34 points per game. Equally formidable is their defense, conceding just 18 points per contest—a league best. Head coach Michael Lang emphasized focus amid success: “The team knows a dream start isn’t guaranteed. We’re staying sharp.”

The Razorbacks’ narrow margins
Despite their 0-2 record, Ravensburg’s losses came by a combined four points, including a one-point heartbreaker against Schwäbisch Hall. Running back Lennis McFerren (26 carries, 4.0 yards per attempt) anchors a ground game complemented by dual-threat quarterback Broghean McGovern (31 carries, 2.4 yards per rush). Head coach John Gilligan, the 2024 GFL Coach of the Year, seeks to translate grit into breakthroughs.

Defense meets ground-and-pound
Pforzheim’s defense, fresh off a bye week, faces its toughest rushing test yet. Coordinator Sascha Deger’s unit, which stifled the Straubing Spiders’ run game earlier, must contain McFerren’s consistency and McGovern’s scrambles. Linebackers will need disciplined gap control to prevent explosive plays.

Coaching chess match
Lang’s caution against complacency clashes with Gilligan’s urgency to reverse fortunes. Gilligan’s tactical creativity, honed during last year’s award-winning campaign, could exploit Pforzheim’s occasional defensive lapses. Meanwhile, Lang’s emphasis on “small details” underscores his team’s structured approach.

Stakes and atmosphere
A Ravensburg fan bus will amplify visitor support, but Pforzheim’s home advantage remains formidable. For the Wilddogs, maintaining divisional supremacy is key; for the Razorbacks, avoiding an 0-3 hole is critical. Board member Kai Höpfinger anticipates fireworks: “Both teams will give no quarter. Fans can expect intensity.”

Outlook
While Pforzheim’s balanced attack and defensive discipline make them favorites, Ravensburg’s resilience and ground prowess threaten an upset. The Razorbacks’ desperation for points meets the Wilddogs’ hunger to preserve perfection—a recipe for a fiercely contested GFL showdown.
