King’s Lynn Stars vs Belle Vue Aces - Premiership - Mon 31/3/25

Comments and predictions…

[Speedball]

Hoping for a win to get the league campaign off to a good start. 

Stronger middle order and reserves should see us through. Kurtz & Bewley will of course be a threat, but they’ll need more than that to win.

Stars 51-39 Aces is my prediction.

Kurtz and Bewley to keep it somewhat respectable but King's Lynn to win by 10+

[Bagpuss]

This will be tough after BV's aggregate humping last week but I reckon we will prevail 46-44 👍

[Falcon1983]

While Harris is at reserve Lynn are going to be strong, so 52-38 home win

[StarBoy]

Kurtz and Bewley have always looked good around Lynn. Lidsey should do ok, but don’t see enough in the rest of the BV team to trouble Lynn that much. I’ll go with a 52-38. I assume we’ll go with the same order as we did at home last week against Oxford. 

KLS

1. Cook - 6 (4)

2. Kvech - 10 (5)

3. Klindt - 7 (4)

4. Iversen - 8 (4)

5. Lawson - 6 (4)

6. Harris - 12 (6)

7. Boughen - 3 (3)

Total - 52

BVA

1. Kurtz - 11 (6)

2. Blodorn - 4 (3)

3. Lidsey - 6 (4)

4. Cook - 3 (4)

5. Bewley - 9 (5)

6. Zischke - 4 (5)

7. Mulford - 1 (3)

Total - 38

Think it won’t be far off with the score belle vues middle order and reserves won’t be able to compete with kings Lynn strength.

i heard Rob Lyon was saying that Kvech struggled going from ht 10 last ride to going in ht15 with the track changing or just a to long a break for him so I reckon Kvech could be put at 3,4 or 5  for Monday. On that note I think either Lawson or iversen would go to no2.

I think Rob wanted to keep the 2 Danes together with their styles complementing each other. With that being said, Klindt has looked off it to start the season. I guess it’s hard when statistically all the boys are similarly matched, it’s cherry picking the lineup depending on the opponent. Whoever we have in the middle order against BV shouldn’t struggle too much, it’s realistically only heats 13 and 15 we may have some issues and whenever Lemon decides to put Brady or Dan in for a T/S

Klindt is riding at 2 on Monday I’ve heard

Correct.     Klindt at 2, Kvech at 3.

I think it will be a bit tighter than you. The Aces will be smarting a tad after last week, and i'd expect their 2 big guns to respond. I would expect them to get 23 between them. I'll probably be miles out, but I'll go  with 48-42 to the Stars

Stars line up is a tad different but I don’t know if it will make a difference to your score prediction or not?… Klindt and Kvech will be the other way round, Klindt 2, Kvech 3

[szkocjasid]

Really should be a Lynn win. Think Belle Vue's bottom end will struggle against Lynn's strength in depth.

[stevebrum]

Should be an easy Stars win.

[Trees]

Pretty sure BV won't be ax bad as they were at Ipswich unless they're trying to pull a flanker?

Just can't wait again, got my season ticket lol

That’s a phrase on here we haven’t seen too aften! 
 

I happen to agree however 50-40ish 

[Daniel Smith]

Loving the confidence from King's Lynn fans.

It's been a while where a genuine belief in a team rather than just blind faith has been felt.

King's Lynn's bottom 4 are comfortably stronger than Belle Vue's but is that going to be good enough??

Kurtz & Bewley can easily Max Out with a Tac Sub included vs King's Lynn's top 2. 32 points so Belle Vue are only looking for 14 points from the rest.

I think it'll be much closer than than the 10+ points predicted. Ben Cook, Klindt & Lawson have to turn up tomorrow, they only got 14 vs a much much worse Oxford team Monday gone 😬👈. These 3 need to be around the 25 points minimum IMO.

 

[ouch]

It’s 31 if Brady & Dan go through the card (33-2, Ht 13 & 15). That said if they are riding that well then we still only need 14 from the rest as they’d win the super heat and get the 2 match points. 

Looking forward to seeing how The Aces perform as a team in the league qualifiers after the Craven and early season challenge meetings. 

[bellevueace]

Have to go with a Kings Lynn win Dan and Brady should go well but our middle order and reserves are going to have to show a big improvement, i would expect Lidsey to be better though.

That for me has been the most impressive thing about Lynn’s start. Neither of those three have got close to what they’re capable of in the first couple of meetings, and you’ve still won soundly both times. Just how good can Lynn be when those three come to the party? Yes I get that Oxford aren’t one of the stronger teams, but it’s away I think they’ll struggle. They’ll still be tough to beat around their home track and Lynn made it look easy with a few riders off form! Monday is going to be very interesting for a few reasons.
