LIVE STREAM – Battle of Unbeatens in Italy: Milano Rhinos v. Bolzano Giants (3p CEST, 9a EDT)

AFI | American Football | 04/23/2017

If ever there was a showdown in Italy this year, this is it. The only two unbeaten teams left in Italy, the 2016 Italian Bowl finalists, the Bolzano Giants and defending Italian champions the Milano Rhinos will clash in a championship game rematch at Stadio Europa in Bolzano.

The teams enter the game as evenly matched as possible. The Giants top the league with a 4-0 record having scored 129 points and allowed 36. Milano is right behind with the same 4-0 record after scoring 124 points and surrendering 39. In other words almost nothing separates the two.

Bolzano quarterback Dustin Willingham is the second leading passer in Italy in terms of yardage with 1,248 yards and 15 touchdowns while Rhinos quarterback TJ Pryor is the second leading rusher in the league. He has rushed for 456 yards and nine touchdowns.

The last time these two teams met in the 2016 Italian championship game, the Rhinos dominated Bolzano 44-18. Do not expect any lopsided scores Sunday afternoon in Bolzano.
