LIVESTREAM Poland: Ząbki Dukes @ Łódz Wilki, April 12, 15:30 CET (3:30 pm, 9:30 am ET)

The Polish Football League’s fourth round continues on Saturday April 12 as the Łódz Wilki (1-0) host newly promoted Ząbki Dukes (0-1).

This matchup pits an early-season powerhouse against a determined debutant squad seeking their first breakthrough.

Newcomers vs. Early Contenders
Fresh off a historic 42-0 rout of Lublin Tytani, the Wolves enter as favorites. Quarterback Dexter Russell Jr. orchestrated a flawless offensive display, scoring two touchdowns and showcasing tactical precision. Their defense, which forced turnovers including a safety and interceptions, remains fully healthy. Meanwhile, Ząbki aims to rebound after a harsh introduction to the league against reigning champions, the Warsaw Eagles.

Dukes’ Uphill Battle
Despite a lopsided debut loss, Ząbki’s flashes of creativity hinted at untapped potential. Facing Łódź—a team more aligned with their organizational scale—offers a chance to recalibrate. Coach strategies will focus on minimizing errors against the Wolves’ aggressive defense while testing their own secondary against Russell’s dynamic passing game.

Key Stakes
For Łódź, this marks their first clash against a non-divisional opponent, a litmus test for playoff aspirations. The Dukes, however, desperately need momentum: a competitive performance could galvanize morale ahead of winnable fixtures. Watch for Ząbki’s defensive adjustments and whether Wolves’ RB corps can replicate their ground dominance.

Prediction
Expect a tense battle early, but the Wolves’ offensive firepower and home advantage may prove decisive. If Dukes contain big plays and sustain drives, an upset isn’t impossible. Final score: Wilki 31-20 Dukes—with Russell Jr. cementing his MVP credentials. Kickoff: Saturday, 15:00 local time.
