Get ELF Game Pass on DAZN
Only three regular-season games remain in the European League of Football before we reach what promises to be an incredible playoff slate between the best of the best.
While some teams have already secured their playoff berth, others - like the two teams featured in our headline Week 11 matchup - still have everything to play for.
DAZN's NFL news team presents the matchup of the week, including what's at stake, as well as the full schedule for Week 11.
Game of the Week: Raiders Tirol (5-4) at Madrid Bravos (6-3)
The Raiders and Bravos both play in the Division South, and only one win separates them in the standings.
What this game means to the Madrid Bravos
The Bravos kept their playoff hopes alive last week, defeating the 0-9 Helvetic Mercenaries 61-6 in a decidedly one-sided affair.
With division winners Munich Ravens on their schedule in Week 13, the Madrid team knows it needs to win its other two games, starting with the Raiders.
What this game means to the Raiders Tirol
The Raiders' playoff hopes were dented last week when they conceded 15 fourth-quarter points in a narrow loss to the now 8-1 Munich Ravens.
That defeat leaves the Austrians needing to win all three games remaining on their schedule, two of which are against other playoff contenders, including the Bravos this week.
What to expect
The clash will be a demonstration of two contrasting offensive approaches.
In American quarterback Reid Sinnett, who leads the league in throwing yards, touchdowns, and completion percentage, the Bravos boast arguably the most dangerous aerial attack in the league.
Sinnett's connection with wide receiver Aron Cruickshank, who is dominating almost every category in the league as a receiver, will undoubtedly be key to the Bravos' game plan.
The Raiders, meanwhile, lean heavily on their ground game. They lead all teams with 308 rushing attempts and have attempted the second-fewest passes in the league.
Look for Tirol's 24-year-old running back Lukas Haslwanter, currently third in rushing attempts and tied for second in touchdowns, to lead the charge.
The two sides previously met in Week 5, when the Raiders won by the narrowest of margins.
Will Tirol's ground game be able to convert downs and control the clock, keeping the ball out of Sinnett's hands? Tune in to DAZN to find out!
Prediction
The Bravos avenge their Week 5 loss to the Raiders, defeating them 28-17.
