The game will be a battle of two contrasting play styles. Denmark wins their games through the air, offensively and defensively. From the approach of Finland, they win their games in the trenches. The Finns have size up front that helps push their offense slowly down the field on the ground.
This Saturday could be a low scoring affair as both teams sometimes struggle on offense. So look for a defensive battle for the honor of third place in this year’s IFAF Europe U19 Championships.
