The Ipswich Witches face Sheffield tonight in the Premiership.
It's the second time in a week the sides face each other, having met on Monday at Foxhall, when the Witches secured a 51-39 win, ending their run of losses.
Ipswich manager Ritchie Hawkins shared his feelings ahead of the meet: “We will go the Sheffield to attack the meeting and obviously a four-point lead is not a great margin for a bonus point.
"Doyley and Emil are going well everywhere, Danny very much likes Sheffield and so does Ben if he is back.
"I think it is a place Keynan will take well to, so we got a team we know can score well around there and we will go there off the back of a good performance on Monday looking to put another one in.
“It is a fast track that we will enjoy racing on, and it is somewhere we might have to go to a few times this year by the looks of things, so we need to get dialled in quickly. You race speedway to go fast and race hard and that is what you need to do at Sheffield.
“We are not in a position where we are getting free hits at the moment and everywhere we go if we can pick up points, they are going to be a bonus and much needed.
"I wouldn’t say there is pressure on the meeting, it is a bit early for that but if we can do something around there it will certainly make the league table look a bit more favourable to us.”
