PREVIEW: SCUNTHORPE v WORKINGTON (BSN SERIES)

SCUNTHORPE complete their BSN Series Northern group campaign when they face Workington at the Eddie Wright Raceway tonight (Friday).

The Scorpions have two points so far but a win and the aggregate point would put them onto five and in with a chance of qualification, whilst the Comets are also in the mix and have one match in hand.

The aggregate point could also be significant with eight points between the sides in Workington’s favour from the return fixture.

Scunthorpe are at full strength whilst the visitors bring in Jake Mulford and Sam Hagon for injured duo Niklas Holm Jakobsen and Vinnie Foord, whilst Max Perry makes his debut and Craig Cook is ruled out again with a shoulder injury.

Scorpions promoter Rob Godfrey said: “To make progress, we know we need to win, take the aggregate point and run up as big a points total as we possibly can and then hope other results fall favourably for us, which could take us into the semis as the best group runner-up.

“Our last two results have been pleasing, with a ten-point home win over Poole, plus a battling performance at Workington.

“Looking at the riders lined-up for Friday, it’s going to be a great night of speedway, and I hope our supporters turn up in numbers to get behind the lads as we seek to gain the result that we need.”

SCUNTHORPE: Josh Pickering, Nathan Ablitt, Luke Harrison, Connor Mountain, Michael Palm Toft, Simon Lambert, Ryan Ingram.

WORKINGTON: Jonas Jeppesen, Jake Mulford, Troy Batchelor, Tate Zischke, Craig Cook R/R, Sam Hagon, Max Perry.

SCB Referee: Gary Allen
