Wolves out to get home form right

Wolves know they cannot afford any more home slip-ups as they prepare to take on Ipswich Witches at Monmore Green on Monday night (1930 BST).

After losing two of their last three home fixtures, Peter Adams' side take on an Ipswich side who beat them 53-38 last time out in Suffolk on 8 May.

Wolves know they have work to do to make it into the top four play-offs.

But the Monmore men beat the Witches over two legs to eliminate them from the Knockout Cup last month.

Adams, whose team are at full strength, said: "I can't deny the fact that we've put ourselves under some pressure and it's down to the boys to respond now.

"Only two of the nine Elite League teams have so far got maximum records at home, so we're not the only ones to have slipped up on our own track, but we cannot afford to do it again.

"Ipswich are a good, solid team with strength throughout and, if they're firing on all cylinders, we'll have a real fight on our hands."

The visitors include former British Under-21 champion Edward Kennett as a guest for their injured skipper Chris Louis who has had surgery on a broken arm.

WOLVES: Freddie Lindgren, Ales Dryml, Niels Kristian Iversen, Nicolai Klindt, David Howe, Christian Hefenbrock, Kenneth Hansen.

IPSWICH: Edward Kennett, Robert Miskowiak, Tobias Kroner, Steve Johnston, Jarek Hampel, Piotr Swiderski, Chris Schramm.
