THE HOME OF AMERICAN FOOTBALL

LPFA Weekend Showdown: Anticipated Battles Heat Up Portuguese Gridiron!

As the Portuguese American Football League (LPFA) gears up for an action-packed weekend, all eyes are on the Campo da Caseta where the Lisboa Devils and the Braga Warriors are set to collide in a high-stakes showdown this Saturday. With the Warriors unveiling a revamped offense and the Devils showcasing their young talent, fans can expect an explosive clash between two perennial contenders. Meanwhile, in Lisbon, the Salgueiros Renegades and the Lisboa Bulldogs prepare for their own battle of contrasting styles, promising intense emotions and gripping encounters on the field.


Clash of the Titans: Lisboa Devils and Braga Warriors in Explosive Showdown

Braga, February 17th, 2024

Campo da Caseta gears up for an electrifying duel in the Portuguese American Football League (LPFA) this Saturday, February 17th, at 4 PM. The 2nd place from last year, Lisboa Devils face the revamped Braga Warriors in a clash that promises fireworks.


Braga Warriors: New Winds, Same Ambitions

The Warriors enter with a revamped offense under a new head coach and their quarterback Tiago Ranhada. Their renowned tough defense aims to contain the Devils' offensive juggernaut. The team's experience, composed of seasoned players with few rookies, can be a long-term asset, but lack of trust in the rotation might be a deciding factor. The Warriors' ambition is clear: come out strong and secure the home win.


Lisboa Devils: Young Talent and Unwavering Ambition

The Solipa brothers pose a serious threat to the Warriors' defense. Juzz Furtado, a key cog in the running game, stands out with his physical prowess and talent exceeding the league's level. The Devils plan to use this opportunity to test their rookies and develop the team's homegrown talent. Their young and talented defense will also be crucial for success. Constant title contenders, the Devils boast exemplary discipline.


Clash of Styles and Protagonists:

  • Warriors' Revamped Offense vs. Devils' Impenetrable Defense: Can the Warriors' and Ranhada's experience overcome the Devils' defensive strength?

  • Explosive Solipa Duo vs. Warriors' Tough Defense: Can the Devils' duo breach the Warriors' defense and secure victory?

  • Juzz vs. Warriors' Defense: Will Juzz's physicality dominate the Warriors' defense and pave the way for the Devils' triumph?




Clash of Styles: Renegades and Bulldogs Set for Gripping Encounter

Lisbon, February 15th, 2024 

Campo de Rugby São Miguel prepares for contrasting styles clash in the LPFA this Sunday, February 18th, at 2 PM. The defensive-minded Salgueiros Renegades face the never-say-die Lisboa Bulldogs in a matchup promising intense emotions.


Renegades: Red Sea Awaits

The Renegades rely heavily on their "Red Sea" box (D-Line and LB), notorious for swallowing opposing quarterbacks. Second-year players showcase promising development, and their tenacity makes them a dangerous opponent.

On the offensive side, the quarterback Francisco Pereira hopes to find with more accuracy his favorite target João Maioto. This connection is one of the best in the league and they are one of the key factors for Sunday's game.


Bulldogs: Exploding Offense Seeks Victory

The Bulldogs' offensive scheme favors short passes with occasional explosive plays. The quarterback situation remains uncertain, while wide receivers Marcos Ramos and Gustavo Machado become crucial to their attack. Their defense tends to strengthen throughout the game but starts weaker which last year had an immense impact on this game.

One of the most problematic things on the team is the fact they depend heavily on an import Quarterback, but maybe this season this will not be a problem due to their experience as a team that was built in the last 3 years.


Clash of Styles and Protagonists:

  • Renegades' Impenetrable Defense vs. Bulldogs' Persistence: Which style will prevail: the Renegades' defensive strength or the Bulldogs' tenacity?

  • Marcos Ramos vs. Renegades' Defense: Can Ramos and Machado lead the Bulldogs' offense and break through the "Red Sea"?

  • Bulldogs' Defensive Evolution: Will the Bulldogs' defense adjust in time to contain the Renegades' attack?
