Predictions for Prem 2023 as teams stand ...


Recommended Posts

This one is harder to predict then the championship. I don't think there is bad team been put together so far. Only predicting finished teams 

1. Sheffield - What a side. No weaknesses in this team 

2. Belle Vue - One of the world's best at number 1 and a strong main body. Big year for Charley Charles at 3.

3. Leicester - Super strong top 4. Dan Thomson is a weapon at home. Unbeaten at home next season. 

4. Kings Lynn - Solid throughout. Just lacks another big hitter. But reserves will be key for kings Lynn

5. Wolves - Solid again but just lacks firepower . Can't see them going many places and winning. Needs another big number 1. Decent reserves though..

Sheffield lack a bit at 2 and 4 for me...Bellego and Howarth.....Not great away....Bv...not as strong as last year .wolves could be a surprise...if reserves score sum point...best RS in league ...by far ..

If they all stay fit,,, looks like another Sheffield v Belle Vue final to me 

Cant see that ..Sheffield 2 and 4 can be a bit unreliable away from home .Bv arnt as strong as last year ...only won league  because  of the stunt they pulled with R.Lambert...fair play to them ...it worked

Nki always injured...Holder not good on small tracks and Tungate ..unreliable at times...

There aren't many small tracks in the 2023 Prem Lge, so I wouldn't lose much sleep over that, even if it was true...

Very difficult to do while not all teams have been filled.

But here goes.

(1) Belle Vue

(2) Sheffield

(3) Wolves

(4) Leicester

(5) Peterborough

(6) Kings Lynn

(7) Ipswich

But that can change depending who Ipswich and Peterborough bring in.

1. Sheffield (Unbeatable at Home and should win the vast majority of away fixtures too imo)

2. Peterborough (Only if NKI, C. Holder & Tungate are in the 1-7, Nailed on for the wooden spoon if Andersen & Worrall are both in though, Not being biased but if the 1-5 contains Basso, Tungate, NKI & C. Holder then Peterborough will run riot at Home in 2023 much like Belle Vue did in 2022, Ben Cook is a very shrewd signing imo who will score very well on the big tracks imo)

3. Ipswich (This will raise a few eyebrows imo, If Doyle/Emil is the top two then that's great but the rest of the team will need to perform as well, Rew possibly in the 1-5 with no UK experience and coming off an injury, No power scoring reserve if Emil signs and King will have to recapture his old form by putting in solid shifts every week as the 3rd HL)

4. Belle Vue (I think they've made a mistake in letting Matej Zagar go tbh, Just my personal opinion I think they look a HL short next season compared to other teams)

5. Leicester (Surprising? I think the Lions team building has fallen off a cliff with the last couple of signings and I don't think they'll do much on the road next season unless Nick Morris drastically improves his away from, Dan Thompson failing to get a ride in the Championship isn't good for himself or Leicester imo, Justin Sedgmen isn't good enough to ride in the 1-5 and Jake Allen is a risky signing because he hasn't been good for the last couple of years in either league)

6. King's Lynn (Doesn't have the firepower to compete in the big Heats, KL is a team relying too heavily on the No.6 to clean up every week just to stay in meetings imo)

7. Wolverhampton (Risky side from top to bottom and they'll be found wanted next season imo, Masters may struggle at No.1 considering some of the Elite names being rumoured for British Speedway, How long will Rory take to settle in?, Can Douglas finally figure out Monmore?, Zach Cook has very limited experience on Premiership tracks so it's just one too many questions marks for me)
