Aces v Witches 20th April 7:30

[Col]

Kurtz & Blödorn are set to return but with Kurtz, Bewley, Cook, Blödorn, Brennan & Musielak all likely to be in action on the continent over the weekend and a fair compliment of Championship fixtures at the weekend we have to hope all come through unscathed.  Assuming they do I would think Belle Vue will win quite comfortably (52-38) while Hellström Bängs showed a liking for the NSS at the SoN (as Sweden's last man riding) but it's been a few years (2021?).  Nicholls & Lawson rarely score well at NSS, Musielak had improved on his last visit with Sheffield but don't remember him doing much for Brummies last season.  Imagine it will be down to Brennan for Ipswich to take a point off the World #2 & #3.

A little rain is forecast at the moment but should be fine.

Expect we’ll get dry humped here 🙈 

Not going to be a good track for us this one and neither will Sheffield. Poor old Scotty will be like a sitting duck and I’d be surprised is he scores a single point.

Scotty never gives up on chasing the pack and his knowledge in the pits will give added value to those with less experience. I hope you are wrong for this stalwart of British Speedway who never knows when he is beaten. That aside does it really matter who comes out on top as long as the sport survives and punters enjoy the evenings racing.

He’s publicly admitted on TNT that if the British final had been held anywhere other than the NSS, he’d have given it another bash to add to his seven titles but concedes that he just doesn’t have the pace anymore to compete there.

I hope I’m wrong too obviously. He’ll give it his best no doubt about it but expectations should be low.

And yes of course it does, it’s competitive sport and fans of both clubs will want their team to win, naturally.
