PREVIEW: WOLVERHAMPTON v PETERBOROUGH (Prem)

WOLVERHAMPTON promoter Chris Van Straaten hopes his side’s togetherness can help them avoid a ‘banana skin’ when they host Peterborough tonight (Monday).

Wolves will be without skipper Sam Masters who is sidelined with a broken collarbone and a dislocated shoulder, with the Australian having successful surgery over the weekend.

The home side operate rider replacement whilst the Panthers are without injured duo Michael Palm Toft and Ulrich Ostergaard, and Scott Nicholls is absent for family reasons, with Broc Nicol and Jordan Jenkins standing in.

Van Straaten said: “Chris Harris is almost proving unstoppable wherever he goes; he’s been rolling back the years in recent weeks and he’s been providing plenty of spectacular entertainment at tracks across the UK and I expect the same on Monday night.

“Benjamin Basso has really caught the eye for Peterborough as well so we’re expecting a good night of racing when you throw Hans Andersen into the mix as well.

“This is a potential banana skin for us – but if our riders ride their home circuit the way we know they can and really come together and battle as a group then I’m hoping we’ll have enough to earn another victory which is important.”

WOLVERHAMPTON: Sam Masters R/R, Steve Worrall, Luke Becker, Ryan Douglas, Nick Morris, Drew Kemp, Leon Flint.
PETERBOROUGH: Chris Harris, Benjamin Basso, Jordan Jenkins, Hans Andersen, Michael Palm Toft R/R, Broc Nicol, Jake Mulford.
