Whilst the Witches could have the most race winners, heat advantages may be a problem for them. The Lions middle/lower order riders need to be on their game. If this Witches team is to be beaten, the hard work needs to be done before heat 13 as I think that Ipswich will almost always outscore teams home and away over the last three heats.

No T/S allowed so Doyle/Sayfutdinov can only score a max of 28 between them, the other Witches need to weigh in with some points especially with Rew and Sayfutdinov never riding there before, King needs to come to the party if Ipswich have any chance of an aggregate win

Not sure all that in 14. 

 

Think we lose on the night by 16

On a side note - why is there no tac sub allowed in the KOC? Not sure what purpose it serves especially now the aggregate bonus point is back in the league.

How the respective  6's & 7's perform tonight is going to be a big deciding factor in the overall outcome. 
Quite possible for the Lions top 5 to fill a lot of the minor places when up against the Ippo top two but not all of the time. 

Can expect a Leicester win on the night but not by more than 4 points - Sure hope I'm wrong, but least there will be the consolation of seeing two of the worlds best race at our humble abode, even better if a Lion gets the better of them a few times.

Are we not allowed a guest for Riss, as RR severely weakens us with our bottom end. Can only see Leicester going through.

You can only have a guest to replace any of the top three riders by CMA. Riss is fourth in the averages.

If the Ipswich reserves don't perform well here then they won't perform well on the road at all, Hume and Joe Thompson have both done plenty of laps around Leicester.

Leicester weren't firing on all cylinders against us last week imo, We would've won the meeting if it wasn't for a couple of bike failures and that's bad considering we didn't have a No.1.

Expecting Leicester to be much improved for tonight's meeting though.

Leicester 49 - 41 Ipswich

Yeah, I can only echo what others have suggested, Witches to win more heats than Lions but duck eggs on the scorecard will be their achilles heel.  Leicester 51 Ipswich 39.  Fricke getting his first few competitive laps on his new home track Thursday will help him.
