Predictions for this one?

I’m sure Ipswich will be fired up for this one following Monday’s embarrassment. I can only see a very, very comfortable home win with Kvech, Klindt and Lawson putting up some resistance for the Stars. 56-34.

Ipswich 

1. Doyle - 10 (4)

2. King - 11 (5)

3. Ellis - 7 (4)

4. Brennan - 8 (5)

5. Sayfutdinov - 10 (4)

6. Thompson - 7 (4)

7. Edwards - 3 (4)

Total - 56

King’s Lynn

1. R/R

2. Lawson - 8 (6)

3. Harris - 5 (5)

4. Kerr - 2 (3)

5. Kvech - 9 (6)

6. Klindt - 9 (7)

7. Harrison - 1 (3)

Total - 34

After last night this isn’t going to be as easy as some think.

Lynn have a team full of riders who go well at Foxhall. Harris, Lawson & Kerr all former Witches while Klint & Kevch both seem to love the place. 
 

 

I hope I’m wrong and Lynn put in a competitive performance. However, I can just see Ipswich coming for blood following last night

Ritchie Hawkins needs to shake them all up. Emil and Doylie albeit still great riders are not putting in the 14's they once did. 10 to 12 now the normal scores (from 5) so the only way Ipswich will win the premiership is if the slack is taken up elsewhere and it seems to me that with Ellis, King and Brennan only one of them usually turns up at any match, certainly away from home.

He should be worried that large leads were squandered at Birmingham in April, Oxford last week and now Lynn. And they are the worst teams so it time for them to buck up or prepare for another year of disappointment.

Just looked at the rider averages comparison between Emil’s first year here in 2023, and this year so far.

Away from home in 2023, 10.95 with a GSA of 10.36. This year so far, 8.00, GSA 7.26. 
 

That is some drop off in just two years!

Wouldn't worry, I'd think it's tactical with both Emil & Jason lowering their numbers. If it remains 2 leagues in 2026 it'll allow a stronger team build than this season.

Pretty sure TruPlant are seeing that those 2 aren't missing out

I expect the Witches to progress and they will have the bit between their teeth after they in my view 'gave' the polints to Kings Lynn on Monday!

Kvech can be good at Foxhall, particualrly if he gates - Lawson is usually fairly decent too.

I wonder if we will see an appearance from Demi-Blu Harris or some form of acknowledgment to celebrate her impressive achievement this past weekend - Would be a nice touch

Her achievement has been recognised online by the Witches, so a parade with her trophy would be a great way to celebrate 🙂

I see it a bit closer than StarBoy and SuperStarsFan91's 56-34. Although the Stars will giving it 100%, i think Ippo will be smarting a tad 😃, and they might not give 5 rides to JD and Doyle if they have the aggregate score in the bag. With that in mind, i'll go 52-38.

Seeing as i waved goodbye to 40 quid to the bookies betting on Ippo to beat Lynn by -4 on Monday, Id take my prediction with a pinch of salt.😆

Just a reminder to allow extra time to get to Foxhall with the Orwell Bridge works ongoing. 

🤔

Drivers will be unable to travel westbound across the Orwell Bridge in Suffolk overnight due to closures.

National Highways said it needed to shut a lane in the contraflow system, which is in place from 20:00 until 06:00 BST, on the nights of 16 and 17 July.

The eastbound carriageway through the contraflow is to remain open.

Damn and blast it, thought it was only one night, ie tonight only. So thanks for update.
