GAME WEEK 5 PREVIEW — 20.09.2026

Round 5 is the biggest of the season. Two matches at the top could decide the title race.

Klek Ravens vs Larissa Green

The match of the round, and maybe the season. Two unbeaten teams, both 4-0, meet head to head. One loses their perfect record. Both pass deep: Klek through Cvetković to de Grahl, Heiseler and Tešić, Larissa through Lončarević to Betz, Bornet and Geisler. Two of the best passing attacks in the league. Whoever defends the deep ball better wins. Klek have the tougher record, they have already beaten Krajišnici and Cluj. Larissa are 4-0, but two of those wins came against bots, so this is their first real test.
Prediction: very close, slight edge to Klek at home. The winner takes control of the title race.

Cluj-Napoca Red Caps vs Krajišnici

A must-win for Krajišnici, and a hard away trip. On paper Krajišnici look the strongest team in the league, champions the last two seasons, but this year they have not shown it and have fallen short of expectations so far. Now they need a result. Cluj run everything through Stoica, who gets 400+ yards a game. This is the test: whoever imposes their game wins. If Krajišnici turn up as the side their squad promises, they take it. If not, Cluj grind out a home win.
Prediction: close game. Krajišnici have the stronger squad, but they have to prove it on the road, and they have not been convincing this year. A narrow away win for Krajišnici if they play to their level.

Kamena Gora Bears vs Constantza Ravens

Constantza travel with Mandache fit and firing after his 411-yard, eight-touchdown return. Kamena Gora are 0-4, now the weakest side in the league, and cannot stop the run. One-way traffic on the ground.
Prediction: comfortable Constantza win.

Dame Green vs Athens Hammers n' Sickles

Athens get the bot they need. Guyader and his receivers will pile up points against a side that has conceded 83, 56 and 70. Free win and a big boost to their points difference.
Prediction: comfortable Athens win, likely a blowout.

Sofia Bears vs Trabzonspor

Two weak teams meet, one a bot. Trabzonspor need this to stay in the survival race, and against the Sofia bot they should get it. Cihangiroğlu ran for 437 yards last week and will feast again.
Prediction: comfortable Trabzonspor win, their third.

The big picture

This round could shape the whole season. Klek vs Larissa decides who leads at the top, one unbeaten team falls. Cluj vs Krajišnici is season-defining for Krajišnici: the two-time champions look the strongest team on paper but have underperformed all year, and now they must win to stay in the race, or fall to 3-2 and real trouble. Constantza roll on with Mandache. Athens and Trabzonspor feast on bots. By Sunday night we will know who really leads the title race, and whether Krajišnici are still in it.

The hardest games will come for me in this next 4 games.
Should be fun

GAME WEEK 6 PREVIEW — 27.09.2026

Round 6 has two big games at the top, one that matters at the bottom, and two where the result is already clear. This is the round where the title contenders start playing each other.

Krajišnici vs Dame Green

Krajišnici play a bot at home. Starting lineman Slaviša Vujanić is injured, but the timing is perfect. Slaviša is an important OL/DL player, but he is out in exactly the week where it does not matter, against the weakest team in the league. Whoever plays, Krajišnici will win easily against a Dame Green side that has lost heavily all season. A free win and a chance to rest key men before the schedule gets much harder.
Prediction: comfortable Krajišnici win. The only question is by how much.

Constantza Ravens vs Klek Ravens

The match of the round, and the most interesting game of the day by far. Two very different teams, and two clever managers. Constantza win by running the ball through Mandache, who gets 400+ yards a game, and their manager is the best tactician in the league, the man who won the Balkan Cup with a squad of ordinary players. He could easily change his tactics to spring a surprise, and that is exactly why this game is so hard to call. Klek win through the air, with Cvetković throwing long to de Grahl, Heiseler and Tešić, and they are no fools either: they are the only team this season to beat the two-time champions Krajišnici, so they know how to win a big game.

The key is Constantza's defence, as their strength is attacking, not defending, and they have no strong secondary to handle Klek's passing. If they sit back to defend the pass, they only open up the long ball. But with a tactician this good, nothing is certain.
Prediction: slight edge to Klek, whose passing is the hardest thing in this game to stop, but do not be surprised if Constantza's manager finds a way. Constantza can win it if Mandache controls the ball long enough to keep Cvetković quiet, or if their manager pulls something no one expects.

Larissa Green vs Cluj-Napoca Red Caps

The league leaders host a wounded Cluj. Larissa throw deep and dangerously through Lončarević and Geisler, who had a 488-yard game last week. Cluj rely entirely on Stoica's running, but he was stopped last week and Cluj have no other plan. Larissa at home, unbeaten, against a team that only does one thing and just lost, this should be a clear home win.
Prediction: Larissa win at home and stay top. Cluj need a huge day from Stoica, and even that may not be enough.

Athens Hammers n' Sickles vs Sofia Bears

Athens play a bot at home. Whether through Guyader's passing or Maslo's running, they will pile up points against a side that has lost heavily all season. Free win, big boost to their points difference.
Prediction: comfortable Athens win, probably a big one.

Trabzonspor vs Kamena Gora Bears

This decides nothing at the top, but it may decide a lot at the bottom. Two real teams fighting to stay up, no bot here. Trabzonspor run through Cihangiroğlu, Kamena Gora through Deák. Whoever stops the other's runner wins. Trabzonspor have found form with two big wins, Kamena Gora are 0-5 and desperate. A must-win for both, and a rare chance for Kamena Gora to climb off the bottom. The most important game of the round for the relegation fight.
Prediction: close game. A slight edge to Trabzonspor, who are in better form, but Kamena Gora will fight for their season.

The big picture

This is the round where the title race takes shape. Constantza against Klek is a direct fight between two contenders, and one of them will lose ground. Larissa can stretch their lead at the top against a fading Cluj. At the bottom, Trabzonspor against Kamena Gora is just as important for survival as the big games are for the title. The two bot games decide nothing but the margins. By Sunday night the four-team title race, Larissa, Klek, Krajišnici and Constantza, will be clearer, and the relegation fight will look different after Trabzonspor and Kamena Gora meet head to head.

GAME WEEK 7 PREVIEW — 04.10.2026

Round 7 has the game that could decide the title, saved for last: the leaders host the two-time champions.

Kamena Gora Bears vs Athens Hammers n' Sickles

Kamena Gora are bottom of the real teams at 0-6 and their season is all but over. They host an Athens side that can score heavily, especially through the air with Guyader, or on the ground with Maslo. Kamena Gora have fought hard in some games through Deák, but their defence concedes too much. Athens are the far stronger team and need the win to keep pace in the upper half.
Prediction: comfortable Athens win. Kamena Gora will compete in patches but cannot match Athens' firepower.

Cluj-Napoca Red Caps vs Constantza Ravens

Two Romanian sides, both running teams, meet in a battle of the ground game. Cluj run everything through Stoica, Constantza through Mandache, both of whom get 400+ yards a game. Whoever's runner is harder to stop wins. Constantza are the more complete side and in better form with Mandache firing, while Cluj have been exposed when they meet a real contender.
Prediction: Constantza to win. Mandache against a one-dimensional Cluj, and Constantza have the better all-round team.

Klek Ravens vs Trabzonspor

Klek need to stop the slide after two straight defeats. They host a Trabzonspor side that has climbed to safety on the back of two bot wins but is still weak against real opposition. Klek pass deep through Cvetković to de Grahl, Heiseler and Tešić, and against Trabzonspor's poor defence they should rediscover their scoring form.
Prediction: comfortable Klek win. A chance to get back on track against a weak side.

Sofia Bears vs Dame Green

Two bots meet, so for once one of them will not lose. This is the only game all season where a bot is guaranteed a result. Both have been crushed every week and have nothing to play for but the mathematics. Impossible to call, and it does not matter either way.
Prediction: a coin-flip between two bots. The only certainty is that it will be low quality.

Larissa Green vs Krajišnici

The match of the round, and maybe the season. The leaders Larissa host Krajišnici in a direct clash between two of the top three. Both teams pass deep and dangerously: Larissa through Lončarević to Geisler and Betz, Krajišnici through Kovačević to Rakić and Kiralj. Larissa have the better record on paper, but their shock loss to Cluj last week showed they can fall apart if their lineup is not right. Krajišnici are the two-time champions who have found form after a slow start and will fancy their chances here. This is a game between two strong, balanced sides, and whoever controls it better takes a big step toward the title.
Prediction: too close to call. A true coin-flip between two heavyweights. Home advantage gives Larissa a slight edge, but Krajišnici have the quality to win anywhere.

The big picture

This round is shaped by one game: Larissa vs Krajišnici. If Larissa win, they pull clear at the top. If Krajišnici win, the title race is blown wide open and the champions take control of their own fate. Behind them, Constantza can strengthen their title claim against a fading Cluj, while Klek try to stop their slide against a weak Trabzonspor. Athens keep pace by beating the league's weakest real side. And at the very bottom, two bots meet in the one game all season where a bot cannot lose. By Sunday night, the title race will look very different depending on what happens in Greece.

we both play with passing, it will be interesting
