LIVESTREAM Poland: Tychy Falcons @ Białystok Lowlanders, June 19, 13:00 CET (1 pm, 07:00 am ET)
The Bialystok Lowlanders (4-1) will host the Tychy Falcons (4-1) in the final game of the Polish Football League regular season.
The Lowlanders are coming off of an exciting Hail Mary victory while the Falcons suffered their first loss of the season two weeks ago. The winner of this game earns the leagues number two seed and with that a bye week and a home playoff game.
The Falcons enter this game eager to bounce back from the loss to the Bydgoszcz Archers and re-establish themselves as title favorites. The passing attack of Gabriel Losada, running back Jan Szwej and receiver Dominik Niedziela make this offense dangerous. Losada however seemed to have suffered an injury in the last game and his status for today is unclear. If Losada can’t go, expect athletic defensive back Laparish Lewis to play quarterback and use his speed to move the sticks.

On defense, the Falcons veteran unit will have to contain another athletic quarterback in the Lowlanders Derrick Clark Jr. Defensive lineman Jan Sikora’s play is vital as getting Clark uncomfortable will be a coaching point for this Falcons defense.
The Lowlanders kept themselves in the hunt for the number two seed by a hail Mary touchdown with twenty seconds left last week. In dramatic fashion a long pass from Derrick Evans Jr was hauled in by Konrad Marianski for the game winning score. Mikolaj Pawlaczyk had a breakout game leading the team in rushing and finding the endzone twice. Look for coach Baker to get Pawlaczyk involved more and more this week as the strong runner has the ability to break arm tackles and fall forward. This week the Lowlanders will have to avoid turnovers to beat a tough Falcons team.
Lowlander’s brothers Eryk and Konrad Paszkiewicz aim to provide a fierce pass rush against a pass happy Falcons offense. On the backend, Jamie Cumberbatch’s play at safety will be crucial as he and his secondary face a Tychy passing attack that has lit up teams this season.
Look for this to be one of the best games we’ve seen in Poland all year, as both squads were considered as title favorites at the beginning of the season. These players and coaches are eager to earn a bye week and a home playoff game as the post season looms in Poland.
