Border
Edinburgh Napier Knights vs UWS Pyros
A battle between two teams, I can’t see this being a particularly great game. Neither team has impressed, with only Pyro have scoring this season.
Dbl Coverage Predicts: Pyros to win by 14
Northumbria Mustangs vs Durham Saints
Northumbria won this fixture last year, so may have the psychological edge in this game. Both teams are at 1-1 in the division and will be looking to maintain form and push for the last Plate place behind Glasgow, Newcastle and Stirling.
Dbl Coverage Predicts: A tough one to call, but we’re going with Northumbria by 7
Sunderland Spartans vs Teesside Cougars
Sunderland haven’t had the benefit of a bye week so far this year (why do we even have bye weeks!?) and have fought their way t o a 1-2 record. Teeside are looking to open their account so far and haven’t recovered from the mauling they got in the first game of the season.
Dbl Coverage Predicts: Sunderland win by 2
Glasgow Tigers vs Stirling Clansmen
The first big clash north of the border as top of the table Stirling take on 3rd place Glasgow. Glasgow have already suffered one shock defeat this season and can’t afford to lose if they want to make the Championship playoffs. Stirling are on fire and look impossible to stop on at the moment.
Dbl Coverage Predicts: Stirling to win by 7
Northern
Huddersfield Hawks vs Sheffield Hallam Warriors
WAAARRRIORS COME OUT TO PLAYAY! Right, now that’s over with…
Huddersfield may have only played one game, but the extra rest and time to practice won’t help them against one of our top ranked teams. Hallam look set to win the division (if the amazing Mudddogs renaissance ends) and make their way into the Championship Playoffs.
Dbl Coverage Predicts: Hallam win by 50
