LIVESTREAM Austria: Prague Black Panthers @ Salzburg Ducks, April 27, 14:00 CET (2 pm, 8 am ET)
The Salzburg Ducks (0-3) host the Swarco Raiders (1-2) at Salzburg American Football Center on Sunday, April 27, in a pivotal Austrian Football League clash.
Ducks’ defensive grit vs. Raiders’ rebound bid
Salzburg’s defense stifled the Vienna Vikings to 14 points last week but struggles offensively (league-low 6.7 PPG). The Raiders, fresh off a narrow loss to the Graz Giants, rely on their turnover-forcing defense (7 takeaways) to counter the Ducks’ red-zone woes (0-4 on fourth down).
Key factor: Offensive execution
Swarco’s pass rush (10 sacks) threatens Salzburg’s error-prone offense (3 TDs, 6 INTs). Ducks HC Joe Ashfield stressed: “We’re moving the ball but must finish drives.”
A Salzburg upset could reset their season; the Raiders target playoff momentum.
