PREVIEW: SCUNTHORPE v LEICESTER (CJL)

SCUNTHORPE race their first Championship Jubilee League fixture at home to Leicester tonight (Friday).

The Lions are looking to bounce back from defeat at Redcar in their opener last Friday, and have Dan Thompson returning from concussion.

The Scorpions give a home debut to Adam Roynon, whilst Kasper Andersen guests for the injured Jordan Palin and rider replacement is in operation for Jake Allen.

Scorpions promoter Rob Godfrey said: “With only four meetings in our group, it’s important that we start with a home victory over Leicester.

“It’s another competition that we can win and we’ll approach it with a positive attitude.

“If Adam can get four points a match, that’s going to make a massive difference between us just winning races and actually getting heat advantages.”

Leicester boss Stewart Dickson said: “We do need to get something from this meeting, otherwise we could find ourselves struggling to get through this section.

“We all want to get to the Final, and looking at the teams for Friday I do feel we should have a chance. We can certainly get something there, which would give us a really good opportunity to qualify.”
