Disappointing news from Bet365, but will probably save me from being divorced.

Can somebody please explain the 8 day rule re guests. King and Batchelor tonight and last night for Poole??? Thanks in advance.

The heats are being shown live on sky sports news according to their Twitter feed.

It's the line ups on the Poole Website.

We all understand about guests, but it is sort of crazy that Chris Harris and Jason Garritty are riding for Kings Lynn. They could be helping them to qualify and then get beat by them next week? Just feels strange. Also if Lynn are knocked out then Harris and especially Garritty get a decent practice in time for next week. Definitely seems strange if you look at it as an outsider.

Tonights teams, not in Riding order. Poole: Troy Batchelor (Guest), Maciej Janowski (Capt),Edward Kennett (Guest), Vaclav Milik, Przemyslaw Pawlicki, Benji Compton, Kyle Newman Team Manager Neil Middleditch King's Lynn: Kenneth Bjerre, Chris Harris (Guest), Robert Lambert, Niklas Porsing, Rory Schlein (Capt), Jason Garritty (Guest), Simon Lambert Team Manager Rob Lyon Troy Batchelor, Magic Janowski, Eddie Kennet, Vaclav Milik, Prem Pawlicki, Ben Compton, Kyle Newman. K.Lynn: K. Bjerre, Chris Harris, Rob Lambert, Nic Porsing, R.Schlein, Jason Garrity, Simon Lambert.

Tactical Double points will be the difference in the final result. If Coventry make use they'll go through. Cock them up and they'll lose the semi. Garrity/Worrall is another key battle.

Well done Hampel. Haha. What a meeting in Stockholm.

I can't disagree about Hampel being poor the 2nd half of this season, but enough riders have been given wildcards with nothing like his record. If he's poor again next season, then that's it of course. There's an argument of course not to put any of the riders from 9th in as 7th and 8th will have got in by luck anyway. If Iversen and Ward had not had their Injuries/Issues then 7th/8th would have needed wildcards. I know it's if and buts but 2 are already in by the back door IMO.

If Politics had nothing to do with the wild cards, my 4 would be Niels Kristian Iversen, Emil Sayfutdinov, Grigory Laguta and Martin Vaculik. However, not likely to happen so I would go with NKI, Martin Vaculik, Jarek Hampel and Peter Kildemand. I definitely think they should announce it before the last GP and the riders below 8th would know what they have to do, unless of course they intend to wildcard them.

I'm going for home win for Swindon, but can't see them getting all 3 points. Should be a good close match.

I backed Buczkowski over 4!!!! Thought it was nailed on especially with no Doyle. All looked good going into heat 10 with b/w helmet on (I know points for betting aren't doubled) but then it all went wrong and is injured on 3 points!!!!!! C'est la vie.

Demolition job for Poole. If either Doyle or Buczkowski have an off night for Leicester it will be embarrassing. Can see both of them though scoring well with 6 rides.

Smederna vs Vergarna. This the TV match tonight. Any Team news available. Thanks in advance.

Better start from Lakeside than could be expected. Still expect Poole to come on strong and win comfortably.

I like the bet365 coverage, admittedly camera angle is not the best at Poole, but it's better than watching the soaps. Anyway tonight I'll be amazed if Poole don't win by double figures. The top 5 for Poole at home are very strong and Kyle Newman will score plenty at reserve. I expect they'll score 55ish and only successful tacticals could keep it respectable. Hope it's closer, but that's how I see it. Enjoy

A big home win is the only realistic outcome IMO.

Currently Rospiggarna are 11/10 -2. Score 32-27 with Betvictor. Holder out injured. Praterna reserves out of form.
