The Berlin Rebels (1-0) will play host to the Hildesheim Invaders (1-1) Saturday, May 25 as the German Football League heads into the third weekend of action.
The last time these two teams met was in 2019 when Hildesheim defeated the Rebels twice, 56-41 and 36-30.
The Rebels are coming off a thrilling last second come from behind 39-38 victory over the Saarland Hurricanes last week. Meanwhile, Hildesheim beat the Berlin Adler 49-42 a week ago after losing 56-21 to the defending champion Potsdam Royals to open the season.
Rebels quarterback Tyquell Fields threw for 381 yards and three touchdowns in the win over Saarland with his key targets being Austin Osborne who had eight catches for 146 yards and a score and Lewis Kirby who caught six passes for 105 yards and a touchdown. Expect more of the same today.
