The Firenze Guelfi (7-0) host the Lazio Marines (2-4) at Guelfi Sports Center on Sunday, April 27, aiming to extend their perfect Italian Football League season.
Dominance meets grit
The Guelfi lead the league in scoring (50.6 PPG) behind QB Andrea Fimiani (1,437 yards, 27 TDs/1,029 yards rushing, 11 TDs)) and a defense allowing 19.6 PPG. Their Week 3 rout of Lazio (42-13) showcased their firepower. The Marines, meanwhile, nearly upset Torino in Week 9 (23-20) behind QB Josiah Norwood’s 147 yards rushing and 91 yards passing.
Marines’ slim hopes
Lazio’s 9th-ranked pass defense must pressure Fimiani to disrupt Firenze’s rhythm. But the Guelfi’s home dominance (4-0 record) and balanced attack make them heavy favorites.
