PREVIEW: BIRMINGHAM v GLASGOW (Champ)

BIRMINGHAM will be without Danish racer Claus Vissing for tonight’s (Wednesday) Championship clash with second-placed Glasgow.

The Brummies say Vissing is missing “after making himself unavailable at short notice” and they will “hold talks with Vissing in the coming days regarding his future with Birmingham Speedway.” They also bring in Lewis Kerr as a guest for the injured Josh Auty.

The Tigers are in the race for a top two finish and now look to build on impressive recent home results against Leicester and Redcar.

Birmingham boss Laurence Rogers said: “Our boys are on a high and feeling confident after our last two performances at Perry Barr and we feel we can cover Claus’s points using the other Brummies in the team with everyone except guest Lewis Kerr able to come in for his programmed rides.

“We’re expecting a tough one against Glasgow, especially with a few ex-Brummies in their side, but as I said the lads are in good spirits, they’ve got nothing to lose and it should be another entertaining meeting all-round.”

Tigers manager Cami Brown said: “We’re looking forward to going to Birmingham on Wednesday now and looking for an away win, which we really need.

“We have had some good away wins so far this season and a couple of disappointments – Oxford was one of them – but we hope we can go and win that on Wednesday. That is the next target.”

BIRMINGHAM: Lewis Kerr, Stefan Nielsen, Claus Vissing R/R, Ashley Morris, Justin Sedgmen, James Shanes, James Pearson.
GLASGOW: Craig Cook, Danyon Hume, Ulrich Ostergaard, Benjamin Basso, Tom Brennan, Broc Nicol, Connor Bailey.
