The Allgäu Comets (8-5) and Saarland Hurricanes (7-6) have been neck and neck throughout the German Football League season this year in the battle for third and fourth in the South division with the Comets right now holding a slight edge.
This final regular season game of the year will decide whether the Hurricanes make the playoffs or not. Hard on Saarland’s heels are the Stuttgart Scorpions in fifth spot who have finished the season with a final record of 7-7.
If the Hurricanes win today against Allgäu , they would move past the Comets into third place in the German South division as they would have beaten them twice. Should Saarland lose today, then the Scorpions would advance to the German quarterfinals as Stuttgart has split the season series with the Hurricanes but holds the edge in points differential (+9) in those two meetings.
The last time these two teams met Saarland beat the Comets 31-24.
Brace yourselves for a rousing finish to the German Football League regular season.
Kickoff: Sunday, September 4, 3 PM (9 AM EDT)
