PREVIEW: BELLE VUE v WOLVERHAMPTON (Prem)

BELLE Vue and Wolverhampton both have the chance to secure their Premiership play-off places in a big Bank Holiday double-header encounter.

The sides meet at the National Speedway Stadium at midway with the return at Monmore Green at 8pm.

Wolves are second in the table on 30 points, with 35 required to guarantee a top four finish, whilst the Aces are one point behind on 29 with two matches in hand.

Belle Vue are also defending a 100 per cent home record with a string of big wins around their own circuit in recent weeks.

Aces boss Mark Lemon said: “Monday could be a very significant day for us. We are somewhat comfortable in the top four right now but here is our opportunity to consolidate that spot once and for all.

“Two meetings in one day is always challenging on both man and machine, but we are equally pumped up for both legs of this Bank Holiday double with a huge crowd expected to see a great event.”

Wolves promoter Chris Van Straaten said: “This is one fixture both sets of supporters always really get into and they’re usually very entertaining fixtures in terms of action on track and scoreline.

“With the business end of the season approaching, the team know the job they need to do during these final few weeks of the regular season.

“It goes without saying that we would rather get our place booked in those play-offs sooner rather than later, and one final home win on Monday would go a long way to helping us reach that goal.”

BELLE VUE: Matej Zagar, Tom Brennan, Brady Kurtz, Charles Wright, Max Fricke, Jye Etheridge, Norick Blodorn.
WOLVERHAMPTON: Sam Masters, Steve Worrall, Luke Becker, Ryan Douglas, Nick Morris, Drew Kemp, Leon Flint.
