PREVIEW: PETERBOROUGH v WOLVERHAMPTON (Prem)

PETERBOROUGH are still chasing their first Premiership points of the season as they go into tonight’s (Thursday) home clash with Wolverhampton.

The reigning champions have lost all four of their league matches in 2022, three of them away from home, and urgently need to put points on the board to avoid losing touch with the top four.

Jordan Jenkins continues in the Rising Star position for the Panthers whilst Wolves were buoyed by Monday’s excellent home win over Sheffield as they look for a first league away win of the season.

Panthers star Hans Andersen said: “It is the same team, everyone is still enjoying it and we are all in good spirits, but it is a team effort and unfortunately, myself included, some riders have not been getting the scores that are expected from us.

“It is very frustrating because everyone knows what we are capable of. The main thing is to get into the play-offs because everything starts all over again and once you retain your title, everyone will forget about what happened in the early part of the season.

“We just need to get on a good run of form. I have full confidence in this team, I know what all the riders are capable of on our day.”

Wolves boss Peter Adams said: “We need to recover that home defeat to Ipswich – and the sooner we do that, the more comfortable I’ll be and the more sleep I’ll be getting.

“I thought we’d got that in our pockets at Ipswich last Thursday but it just slipped out of our grasp.

“So Thursday at Peterborough presents us with another opportunity and the boys know what they need to do.”

PETERBOROUGH: Michael Palm Toft, Scott Nicholls, Hans Andersen, Ulrich Ostergaard, Chris Harris, Benjamin Basso, Jordan Jenkins.
WOLVERHAMPTON: Sam Masters, Steve Worrall, Luke Becker, Ryan Douglas, Nick Morris, Drew Kemp, Leon Flint.
