The unbeaten Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns (5-0) sit in first place in the GFL South and will head to Straubing to face the surprising second place Straubing Spiders (3-2) Saturday, July 6 in an interesting German Football League matchup.

The Spiders have won two of their last three including a big 29-25 win over the Allgäu Comets a week ago. The Unicorns, while unbeaten in their five games, were pushed hard in their last two getting by the Ravensburg Razorbacks 31-28 last week and the Munich Cowboys, 42-35 the week before that.

This will be a clash of the Unicorns‘ number one offense in the conference against the Spiders number one defense. Schwäbisch Hall has scored an average 43.4 points a game but given up 31.6 on average. Sraubing, while only scoring 22.2 points on average, only allow 19.4.

Luis Wittmann is the main quarterback for the Spiders although backup Alexander Biebl has seen a fair amount of action. Wittmann has thrown for 600 yards in the five games while Biebl has just over 100. Colton Smith has 19 catches for 230 yards. Running back Kamal Cass has rushed for 243 yards and six touchdowns with 141 of those coming against the Berlin Adler.

Schwäbisch Hall quarterback Conor Miller, who is in his fifth season in Europe, is the fifth leading passer in the GFL having thrown for 1.168 and 18 touchdowns against four interceptions. His favorite target is Magnus Bumiller with 24 catches for 334 yards and four touchdowns while Jason-Matthew Sharsh has 18 receptions for 344 yards and seven scores. Veteran running back Mike Gentili has rushed for 420 yards and four touchdowns in four games after missing the game against the Munich Cowboys.

While on paper this might seem like a solid win for the Unicorns, the way that the Straubing defense has been playing, the Spiders could well surprise.
