PREVIEW: SCUNTHORPE v BIRMINGHAM (Champ)

SCUNTHORPE are set to welcome back several of their former riders when they host Birmingham at the Eddie Wright Raceway tonight (Friday).

Adam Ellis, Ashley Morris and Stefan Nielsen are all ex-Scorpions although club legend Josh Auty is ruled out after suffering a suspected broken leg on Wednesday. The visitors will use rider-replacement to cover.

Scunthorpe promoter Rob Godfrey said: “It will not be an easy match tonight, because they have riders who like our track. But I think we learned a lot against Leicester last week. The riders were perfecting things and you saw that in the second half of the meeting.

“I’m sure it will be a top-notch night of racing at the Eddie Wright Raceway, while I have every confidence that we can finish the night with a victory and another three league points.”

Birmingham boss Laurence Rogers said: “Josh hit the kickboards hard on Wednesday and if his injury is as bad as first feared then he’s facing quite a lengthy spell on the sidelines unfortunately.

“Scunthorpe are always tough opponents on their home track and they’ve already shown that by beating an in-form Leicester side comfortably last week.

“So we know it’s not going to be easy but we have to go there with confidence and belief and believe that we can come away with something.”

SCUNTHORPE: Ryan Douglas, Simon Lambert, Jordan Palin, Jake Allen, Tero Aarnio, Ryan Kinsley, Zaine Kennedy.
BIRMINGHAM: Claus Vissing, James Shanes, Josh Auty R/R, Ashley Morris, Adam Ellis, Stefan Nielsen, James Pearson.
