For 13 matchdays, the 14 teams of the Icon League fought for a spot in the top 8, which qualifies them to participate in the Final-8 tournament. Tomorrow, the time has come for the best teams to face off and compete for the title.

The first quarter-final is FC OneFootball against SC Bürgeramt. But how are both teams actually performing? We provide you with an overview.

FC OneFootball

FC OneFootball is the team of the moment in the Icon League. Marc Müller's squad won the last ten games, setting the record for the longest winning streak in the Icon League. OneFootball scored the most goals after the Wontorriors and has a very deep squad.

With two blocks of four players each that can rotate seamlessly without any noticeable drop in quality, they have strong squad depth. This depth could be crucial in the finals, as the games are tightly scheduled with little time for recovery.

However, the victories were not power demonstrations; of the ten wins, OneFootball won six by just one goal. This is not surprising given the quality of the Icon League, but it shows that every game is fiercely contested.

In these matches, OneFootball can rely on its key players. For example, Julian Mehl, who consistently stands out with saves and offensive contributions. He is excellent in play and has already scored seven goals and nine assists. Last year, he was voted "Final MVP," and this year he could again be crucial for success.

In important moments, Plavci and Miguelin are always present. Both scored in double digits during the regular season and have proven their quality. Bürgeramt will need to keep them in check.

Assessment: Due to its squad depth, winning streak, and individual quality, FC OneFootball is a clear favorite for the title.

SC Bürgeramt

Bürgeramt also travels to Berlin with confidence. They won the last three games and have gained a lot of self-assurance from it. The small crisis with three consecutive losses over the Easter matchdays now seems forgotten.

The team from Frankfurt qualified for the finals for the first time, having clearly missed the top 8 last season. The team has changed and harmonizes excellently.

In Frankfurt, they regularly host watch parties and have developed a real fan base there.

The key players are Dzemailji and Zejnullahu. Dzemailji is Bürgeramt's top scorer, and his goals will be crucial for the Frankfurt team. Zejnullahu, who previously played for Union Berlin, has 15 goal involvements.

Assessment:

Bürgeramt is a wildcard because they have recently played strongly but have also shown fluctuations in form this season and are in a final for the first time – anything is possible.

The duel between the two teams in the regular season went to OneFootball in overtime. This could be a psychological advantage.
