It will be the battle of the “Cats” as France’s Thonon les Bains Black Panthers take on the Prague Black Panthers from the Stade Joseph Moynat in Thonon-les-Bains, France Saturday, Arpil 22 in the first European Football League Group B game of the season.

In the first game of EFL play in Group A last weekend, the Milano Rhinos from Italy downed France’s Nice Dauphins 28-21.

Thonon enters the game leading the French league with a 6-1 record and the top offense having scored 314 points in seven games. Prague is undefeated in the Czech league with a 3-0 record and is averaging 48 points a game.

Prague quarterback Jan Dundáček is a veteran of both Czech league and Austrian league games and is also the signal caller for the Czech national team and a key to the offense. Thonon relies heavily on the ground game with running back Anreas Betza, who leads the French league in rushing with 1,101 yards and 18 touchdowns. His teammate Vincent Begou is fifth in France while Stephen Yepmo is not far behind.

Thonon will face the Berlin Adler on May 6 in another Group B game while Prague takes on Berlin May 21. The winner of Group A will play the winner of Group B June 11 for the EFL championship.
