Surge and Ravens set for high-stakes Semi Final
Cara Iden

The first semifinal is set. Next Sunday, Stuttgart Surge will continue their playoff run. After head coach Jordan Neumann's team earned a convincing victory over the Madrid Bravos in the Wildcard Round – a fitting birthday gift for Neumann – they now face the Munich Ravens, an opponent they already met twice during the regular season. Stuttgart claimed the first matchup at home, before Munich responded with a home win of their own.
Both teams now meet again in a do-or-die contest. For Stuttgart, the dream of reaching the Championship Game – which is taking place in their home city – is within touching distance. The Ravens, meanwhile, will look to defend their unbeaten home record and secure a spot in the final themselves.
Fans can expect an intense semifinal clash with the atmosphere of a regional rivalry between the two teams from southern Germany. Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday, August 31st, at 15:00 CET.
