LIVESTREAM: Austria – Danube Dragons @ Bratislava Monarchs, May 27, 2p (8a EST)

AFI | American Football | 05/27/2018

The 1-6 Bratislava Monarchs play host to the 3-3 Danube Dragons in the Austrian Football League, Sunday, May 27 at SKP Dubravka Stadium in Bratislava.

For the Monarchs, this is a do or die game. A win over Danube, who barely beat them 30-27 earlier this month, would still give them a chance for a wild card playoff spot. Danube is in the same situation. With four games left, they will need a win today as their last two games are back-to-back matchups with the Swarco Raiders.

Both offenses have struggled to score this season. The Dragons are averaging 25 points a game while Bratislava scores 21 points a game. Defensively, Danube is also better giving up 29.4 points a contest. Meanwhile, the Monarchs allow a whopping 41.

Dragons quarterback Chad Jeffries is the fifth leading passer in Austria with 1,575 yards passing in six games while Bratislava’s David Vega has thrown for 1,527 yards and 16 touchdowns.

Danube is coming off an inspiring 41-31 win over the Modling Rangers two weeks ago which could give them momentum going into this contest. The Monarchs are regrouping after losing two in a row, to the Ljubljana Silverhawks and Dragons.
