King's Lynn vs Leicester 14/04/25 Premiership R1

This is huge for Lynn. Barring a huge injury crisis I think everyone accepts the top three places are taken care of, the final spot in all likelihood is between these two. You can’t afford to lose at home to the side you’re competing against for that play off spot. The form of a few Lynn riders currently makes this a dangerous fixture for them.

Sounds silly but King's Lynn's season is on the line in this meeting, Lose this and it's curtains already, Got to be realistic and say King's Lynn aren't going to beat Ipswich in the KOC so it's all about finishing 4th for them and they're already 0-3 with 0 Points in the Premiership.

Leicester are the team that King's Lynn have to hunt down to finish 4th so they cant afford to lose at Home to them under any circumstances because Leicester would have a 4 Point lead and 2 Meetings in hand over King's Lynn.

I was expecting Leicester to drop off with Drew Kemp being given a third chance @ No.6 but he's been really impressive this season by getting a minimum of paid 9 in every meeting for the Lions so far.

Leicester are the side showing better form but Harris may just drag King's Lynn over the line in a last Heat decider (46-44 either way)

I think Lynn are very strong at home and should have the beating of Leicester.

As many have already mentioned, this is a must win fixture for Lynn, or the season is over by mid April. If Dickson sticks with the same lineup, Fricke and Becker at 1 & 2 looks dangerous and could see 15 points collected from their 3 races together. Rob has to be tactical where he lines everyone up to maximise heat advantages. The Stars have to come out of the traps flying and build up a significant lead by heat 11. It will be close, but I think with a bit of luck the Stars will edge it with Bomber taking 7 again.

That wasn't strength in depth. 

That was a stacked team full of quality.

The Panthers had 4 numbers 1s riding for them (Chris Harris, Hans Andersen, Bjarne Pedersen and Scott Nicholls).

Or it was just a watered down league where there was only 2 out and out No. 1’s (Bewley and J Holder) compared to 8 now (Bewley, Kurtz, Doyle, Sayfutdinov, J Holder, C Holder, Woffinden and Fricke)?

As 3 of those 4 spent time at reserve you could say they had a team of reserves.

As has been said this is a must win for Lynn, and there is a bit of pressure with three league defeats so far.

However the home form has been pretty good and they really should be sitting on two wins from two on home shale so no reason to fear Leicester despite their strengths.

48-42

Looking at the line ups, Lions have the best and worst rider in the two teams. Looks pretty even over all. I think the Stars will win narrowly and expect the Lions to claim the bonus point in the return fixture.
