LEICESTER got the better of Wolverhampton on Saturday with a 48-42 win at the Jordan Road Surfacing Stadium.
The result of the Elite League match was an exact reverse of the scoreline when the sides met at Monmore earlier in the week, with Wolves on this occasion taking an away point.
Wolves led by six points early on before the home side hit back, with Lions skipper Jason Doyle scoring 14 points from five rides.
Leicester boss Norrie Allan said: “We overcame a nervous start and twice found ourselves six points behind. Ten points from Heats 7 and 8 gave us the lead for the first time in the match but we could not quite shake the Wolves off.
“Whether we can still lift ourselves off the bottom is still in our hands and with six matches left it is still possible.”
Wolves skipper Peter Karlsson said: “We're delighted with the point we've got. Everyone was chipping in with points and we did a good job in the end.
"It would have been nice to get the win, but after the way our away form has been it was a great feeling to secure a point in that last race.”
