Vikings: Home-field Advantage in Sight, Last-Place Team Ahead

On Sunday, July 26, the Vienna Vikings will visit the Firenze Red Lions. Kickoff in Florence is at 5:00 PM. Fans can watch the match live on "Krone TV", "Red Bull TV" and "AFLE+".

The Italian hosts are still waiting for their first win in their debut AFLE season and are currently at the bottom of the table.

Nevertheless, the situation for the Vikings is clear: concentration instead of carelessness. Especially in this crucial phase of the season, Head Coach Chris Calaycay's team cannot afford any sloppiness.

Chasing the Best Possible Starting Position

The success in Duisburg impressively showed what the Viennese are capable of against Europe's strongest teams. Now, it's crucial to confirm this performance in Florence as well and further extend their excellent starting position in the race for home-field advantage.

Head Coach Chris Calaycay looks focused on the next task: "The win against Rhein Fire was an important step, but our work is not yet done. We want to finish the regular season as successfully as possible and secure the best possible starting position for the playoffs. To do that, we must perform with concentration from the start in Florence."

Within the team, it's also clear what matters in the coming weeks. Playoff qualification was an important milestone, but the team already has its next goal firmly in sight. Every win now counts in the race for home-field advantage. Full focus is on Florence and on bringing the strong performance from Duisburg back onto the field.

The Final Stretch of the Regular Season

With four games remaining in the regular season, the Vienna Vikings have already achieved their first major seasonal goal. The Vienna Vikings remain undefeated and were the first team in the league to secure their playoff ticket.

Now, it's about further solidifying their strong starting position and securing home-field advantage for the semifinals with a successful final phase.

After the away game in Florence, a bye week follows before the decisive phase of the regular season begins. On August 8, the Vienna Vikings will host the Wroclaw Panthers for the Salute to Service Gameday at the Wiener Sport-Club Stadion (Tickets >>>).
