LIVESTREAM Sweden PPV: Oslo Vikings @ Carlstad Crusaders, May 24, 13:00 CET (1 pm, 7 am ET)

| American Football | 05/24/2025

The Carlstad Crusaders (3-1) host the Oslo Vikings (1-3) at Sola Arena in Karlstad on Saturday, May 24th, seeking to recover from their first loss in nearly two years after falling 42-14 to the Örebro Black Knights. The Vikings, meanwhile, arrive desperate to snap a three-game skid following a 24-0 home defeat, also to Örebro.

Recent struggles set stage for rematch
These teams last met on May 4th in Oslo, where the Crusaders dominated defensively in a 27-7 victory. The Vikings’ offense sputtered throughout, gaining minimal traction until their defense stiffened in the second half. Both squads now face urgency: Carlstad aims to reclaim momentum, while Oslo fights to revive playoff hopes in a lopsided series.

Coach Forsman’s recalibration plan
Carlstad head coach Christian Forsman emphasized humility and adjustments after the Örebro loss: “We lost fairly to a good Örebro team that exposed our shortcomings. It’s about correcting and maximizing our potential.” Facing a vengeful Oslo, he stressed the need to “get our feet back on the ground” ahead of Saturday’s clash.

Key players in focus
Crusaders QB Slade Jarman (785 passing yards, 9 TDs) anchors the league’s third-ranked offense (30.0 PPG), with WR/RB Tim Schulz (18 catches, 163 yards, 195 rushing yards, 3 total TDs) providing versatility. Oslo counters with QB DeAndre Clayton (618 yards, 4 TDs, 4 INTs), whose top target Niklas Fengler (10 receptions, 207 yards, 1 TD) and RB/LB Will Sewell (207 rushing yards, 3 TDs; 18.5 tackles, 2 fumble recoveries) must elevate their play.

Playoff stakes intensify
Carlstad’s high-powered offense (120 points scored) contrasts sharply with Oslo’s struggles (69 points, 4th-lowest in Superserien). The Crusaders’ defense (15.5 PPG allowed) remains a strength, while the Vikings’ leaky unit (23.0 PPG allowed) faces pressure to contain Jarman’s aerial attack.

Final preview
A Carlstad win solidifies their playoff positioning, while Oslo risks falling further adrift. With pride and postseason hopes on the line, Sola Arena promises a gritty battle. Watch the livestream to witness whether the Crusaders’ adjustments prevail or the Vikings’ Sewell-led resilience sparks an upset.
