The Tigers were pummeled 72-0 in their first game in the EFL by the Potsdam Royals from Germany two weeks ago. The second best team in Belgium will be hard pressed against a veteran Calanda Broncos team, ranked #13 in Europe.

The Broncos have opened their 2018 season in Switzerland with five straight wins and are runaway leaders in the Swiss American Football League. They are averaging almost 40 points a game while allowing only 10.
Brussels are in second place in the Belgian standings with a 3-1 record. They have won their last three games handily after dropping the opening game of the season to the Limburg Shotguns.
