The Vikings want to continue their impressive run, because they have not yet lost a game this season.

Vikings Head Coach Chris Calaycay and Linebacker Lucky Ogbevoen are optimistic about the upcoming challenges. Calaycay emphasizes that the defensive is in the best form and that in the last game against Rhein Fire only allowed six points. "Our goal will be to stop the Raiders running game and activate the Rush passport," said the coach. Ogbevoen, who is a former Raider, emphasizes the great team performance of the defense.

insight into the past season

The Vikings have now expanded their winning streak to seven wins in seven games. In the first duel of the season in Vienna a month ago, the Vikings clearly won 27: 6. This result shows that the team is well set under the direction of Calaycay. Also in the second leg in the Tivoli Stadium in Innsbruck, where this showdown takes place, the Vikings showed a strong defensive and decided their game through an excellent performance in the second half. Benjamin Straight managed to achieve a touchdown with an interception, which put pressure on the Raiders' offensive, which did not stand up.

The competition between these two teams has always caused a sensation in the European League of Football (Elf). Since 2022, the Vikings were able to win all games in six duels against the Raiders. It remains to be seen whether the Raiders Tyrol, who are currently with a defeat balance of two games, can turn the tables.

The games of the eleven teams Vienna Vikings and Raiders Tirol are broadcast on Puls 24, as well as Puls24.at and Joyn in Austrian Free TV. So, for the fans who cannot be live in the stadium on Saturday, there are many ways to pursue the big event on the screens.
