Both teams are fighting for second place and the potential of a home game. Week 24-12 due to 5 losses Seinäjoki, the Roosters must win Crocodiles by 12 or more points to earn this right.
The Crocodiles coming off a tough 27-8 loss to the defending champion Kuopio Steelers last week. In that game Crocodiles kept things closed half a year before Steelers pulled away. Run back Christian Powell should get more touches than Seinäjoki the biggest gun had just 13 positions in losses last week. at playmaker, Anthony Whitehead must rise if Seinäjoki wants to win today.

The former “Last Chance U” star and University / Tennessee (NCAA DI) defensive lineman Emmit Gooden has stood out this season. Former junior school All American along with Arthur Pinheiro, Seth Zins and Fillip Zacok is a tough defensive line that needs to play well today. If Seinäjoki defensive line can step up, they give themselves a good chance to win this one Roosters team.
The Roosters let’s log in Christian Powell this week and hopefully slow one down European the best running backs. Domestic defensive lineman Christer Berg, linebacker Taavi Aronpaa, Kaleb Wezdenko, and veteran Cam Gruel should be able to cause problems Crocodiles offensive line. In secondary, Emory Polly and Nolan Bernat hoping to get hold of all the mistaken passports Crocodiles likes to throw the ball deep often.
Offensive lineman, quarterback Bryce Stancomb hopes to find Aymeric Nicault and a group of young receivers to bring consistency to an up-and-down offense this season. If Helsinki need a spark waiting for them to play Ambro Urjansson. The former quarterback has lined up at receiver, running back and quarterback this season, making an impact all over the field.
