LEICESTER and Lakeside clash in the Elite League on Saturday in a rapid return from last night’s meeting at Purfleet.
The Hammers won 56-34 on home soil and the Lions are now looking to turn the tables in their opening home fixture of the league campaign.
Boss Norrie Allan said: “It is important that we get our home form right from the very start. We have never started with a win at home since we joined the Elite League and that has to be put right with the visit of Lakeside.
“A good performance will give the team a lift in preparation for the challenges ahead. We are under no illusion that the Hammers will be a pushover. Far from it, as they are a good team in the making.”
Hammers coach Kelvin Tatum said: “We’ve won twice at our place and given King’s Lynn a good meeting in our only away fixture, so it’s been a positive start and it would be great if we could build on that with a good result at Leicester.
“It’s another quite technical type of track that I’d like to think will suit us and give us a chance to come away with a victory.”
Leicester: 1. Patrick Hougaard, 2. Nicolai Klindt, 3. Grzegorz Walasek, 4. Szymon Wozniak, 5. Sebastian Ulamek, 6. Josh Auty and 7. Paul Starke
Lakeside: 1. Andreas Jonsson, 2. Piotr Swiderski, 3. Kim Nilsson, 4. Richard Lawson, 5. Lewis Bridger, 6. Robert Mear and 7. Lewis Kerr
