MONDAY’S FORM GUIDE

IPSWICH have found the East of England Arena a happy hunting ground since both the Witches and Peterborough returned to the Premiership in 2019.

The Suffolk side won on both of their visits in that campaign, and added a Super Heat success on their last visit in September 2022 after a dramatic comeback inspired by Jason Doyle.

Meanwhile Sheffield’s only win at the National Speedway Stadium came almost exactly a year ago – on March 28, 2022 in a League Cup match.

The Aces have prevailed on their other six meetings with the Tigers in Manchester since the post-Covid re-start, and have overcome their Yorkshire rivals in the play-offs in both of the last two seasons.
