Two games stand out in Week 8. The Paris Lights travel to face the Vienna Vikings, a team that has shown very few weaknesses so far. Paris have an opportunity to make a statement, while Vienna can extend their perfect run.

The matchup between the Panthers Wroclaw and Rhein Fire looks just as intriguing. Wroclaw arrive with momentum from Week 7, while Rhein Fire remain one of the strongest programs in European football. This game clearly has headline status.

These are exactly the kinds of matchups that make the AFLE weekend attractive: established favorites, ambitious challengers and games that can directly affect the standings.
