LIVESTREAM Spain: Zaragoza Hurricanes @ Coslada Camioneros, March 29, 15:00 CET (3 pm, 10 am ET)
The much-improved Coslada Camioneros (3-4) will play host to the Zaragoza Hurricanes (2-5) Saturday, March 29 as the Spanish National League of American Football, LNFA, heads into the final games of the regular season.
Coslada are coming off an embarrassing 54-7 loss to the defending champion Las Rozas Black Demons. They had dropped a tough 10-7 decision to Osos Rivas after pounding the Gijon Mariners 48-10. They had earned a solid 28-20 win over the Zaragoza Hurricanes in mid February. The Camioneros downed the Gijon Mariners 33-17 to open their season but dropped a 35-10 decision to Osos Rivas in Game #2. In the third weekend of action, they were no match for the Black Demons losing 40-3.
The revamped Hurricanes are coming off an explosive 43-6 pounding of the Mariners which had followed a stunning 23-6 upset of the powerhouse Osos Rivas the week before in a game that they controlled from the opening whistle. With the two wins, Zaragoza has climbed out of the cellar they have occupied in the Spanish Western conference. Coslada won the first meeting between the two teams 28-20.
This is the final game of the season for both teams as both have finished out of the playoffs. However, pride is on the line. A win by the Hurricanes by more than eight points would vault them past the Camioneros into third place in the Eastern conference standings.
