PREVIEW: PLYMOUTH v SCUNTHORPE (CAB DIRECT CHAMPIONSHIP)

SCUNTHORPE promoter Rob Godfrey says an away win at Plymouth tonight (Saturday) is a clear target for his side.

The Scorpions are playing catch-up in the Cab Direct Championship after dropping three points at home already, and they will look to regain ground when they visit the Coliseum.

The visitors name a full-strength side in Devon whilst the Gladiators give a debut to new signing Daniel Klima, but they are missing Nicolai Klindt (racing in Poland) and Ben Barker (appendix operation).

Godfrey said: “Plymouth is an important away fixture for the Ellie Rose Scorpions. We’ve dropped three points at home to Glasgow and Oxford and we need to make up for that sooner rather than later and recover the lost ground, if we’re serious about finishing in the top four and reaching the play-offs.

“We’re going to the Plymouth Coliseum with a mindset that it’s a meeting that we have to win, ahead of hosting the Gladiators at our own Eddie Wright Raceway next Friday.”

PLYMOUTH: TBC, Alfie Bowtell, TBC, Joe Thompson, Lasse Fredriksen, Mitchell Cluff, Daniel Klima.

SCUNTHORPE: Steve Worrall, Simon Lambert, Declan Kennedy, Connor Mountain, Jake Allen, Luke Harrison, Zaine Kennedy.

SCB Referee: Christina Turnbull
