The Mercenaries are on a roll after back-to-back victories as they have unleashed their passing game. They downed the Ingolstadt Dukes 43-14 two weeks ago after notching their first win of the season the week before. It was a big one as they outdueled the Kirchdorf Wildcats 55-49. They had dropped their first three games of the year in 2019, losing 52-9 to the defending champion Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns, then  30-21 to the Stuttgart Scorpions and finally 20-14 to the Frankfurt Universe.

Marburg quarterback Jakeb Sullivan was outstanding in both wins throwing for 355 yards and five touchdowns against Ingolstadt and 483 yards against the Wildcats to up his season total to 1,609 yards and 14 TDs making him the  top passer in the GFL. Hendrik Schwarz is his leading target with 507 yards receiving on 24 receptions. Marvin Rutsch has caught 30 passes for 214 yards while teammate Triston McCathem  has 299 yards rushing for the year but he also has 264 yards receiving.

This one could go either way. Both quarterbacks have hit their stride. It will be an aerial display.
