LIVESTREAM Italy: Milano Rhinos @ Bologna Warriors, April 5, 19:00 CET (7 pm, 1 pm ET)
The Milano Rhinos (2-3) and Bologna Warriors (1-4) face off today in a pivotal Italian Football League (IFL) matchup at Alfheim Field, Bologna, with both teams seeking to salvage their playoff hopes.
The Milano Rhinos enter this matchup seeking to reignite their season after a promising start turned sour. Their 38-0 Week 1 demolition of Bologna now feels distant, as the Rhinos have since dropped three of their last four games. Defensive lapses and QB Ethan McCray’s inconsistency (8 INTs in 5 games) have plagued the team.
The Bologna Warriors (1-4), meanwhile, face near-mathematical elimination from playoff contention. Their lone win—a scrappy 19-14 victory over Bergamo in Week 3—highlighted resilience but failed to mask systemic issues. The Warriors’ offense ranks worst in scoring (5 PPG), placing immense pressure on Swedish import QB Viktor Wessberg, who has a mere 330 yards passing and 55 yards rushing.
Stakes & Broadcast
This free-to-air showcase (19:00 CET on FIDAF TV’s YouTube channel ) represents a tipping point: a Rhinos loss could derail their postseason bid, while the Warriors risk falling 2.5 games out of contention. Oddsmakers narrowly favor Milano (-5.5 spread), but Bologna’s home-field advantage and Wessberg’s untapped upside add intrigue.
