In the exhilarating realm of Spanish National American Football League (LNFA), anticipation mounts as the Badalona Dracs gear up to face off against the Zaragoza Hurricanes in a pivotal Week 7 matchup. With the Dracs soaring at the helm of the Eastern Conference and the Hurricanes poised to upset any adversary, this clash promises high-stakes drama and intense gridiron action.
BADALONA DRACS ARE ON CRUISE CONTROL
Badalona Dracs are advancing at this point of the Spanish National American Football League (LNFA) at cruising speed. After two years without a title (last season they were even left out of the final), the most successful team in Spain dominates the Eastern Conference, also convincing with a physical and forceful game in which the running game prevails over the passing game, thanks especially its two import stars: the all-purpose player Alpha Jalloh and the Illinois Runningback Ra'von Bonner.
The Badaloneses lead their conference alone, and it seems impossible that anyone could take that lead from them at this point. However, their last game left some doubts after L'Hospitalet Pioners came close to surprising the team coached by Román Villamonte thanks to the magnificent performance of the recently incorporated García brothers.
HURRICANES CAN SURPRISE ANYONE
The Pioners beat Zaragoza Hurricanes on the last game week by a close margin in which the extra-points were decisive, and that proves that the team from Zaragoza, with the Mexican Quarterback Edgar Ulloa at the controls, has a similar level and, therefore, that Hurricanes could be the one who gave the surprise against Badalona Dracs.
The Hurricanes have had to deal with the loss of their star Offensive Lineman Gabriel Rodríguez, but it doesn’t seem that the offense has suffered. The Hurricanes' skilled domestic receiving corps opens the range of plays and it is not easy to cover Aaron David, Luis Sánchez, Sergio Montaner or Miguel López. They all know what it's like to score this season.
It is in the running game where the Hurricanes seem to be struggling. In their last game against Pioners, there were few snaps with a running play in their playcalling, which allows the defenses to play with relative comfort and the Linebackers to move quickly to their zones, with Edgar Ulloa himself being the one who accumulates the most running yards.
On defense, the Hurricanes' secondary unit is relentless. But they will face, in addition to the versatile Alpha Jalloh, the rising star Eric Ladero, one of the biggest promises in national football. The Dracs' latest addition, the Mexican Quarterback Marco Durán, is out due to suspension and it will be their veteran Quarterback Sergio González, who is having an amazing season, who will lead the team in this game.
PREDICTIONS
Badalona Dracs seem a clear favorite. Not only because of their dominant regular season but also because they defend their fiefdom. But the Hurricanes could well be the strongest rival in their conference, and the team from Zaragoza needs every possible victory to consolidate their place in the playoffs.
