IPSWICH Witches face two challenging Premier League meetings in two days, starting with a trip to Berwick on Saturday night.

The Bandits thrashed Redcar last weekend and look to be in a good vein of form.

However the world under-21 qualifiers this weekend means many riders are travelling all over Europe and it impacts on both teams.

Ipswich will be missing Dakota North all weekend, with Edinburgh’s Matthew Wethers guesting, Wethers won three races at Berwick just a couple of weeks ago for his Monarchs side.

Berwick are also missing Alex Edberg and David Bellego, while Jason King and Lubos Tomicek are carrying injuries.

Berwick: R Ashworth, L Tomicek, L Complin, R/R, S Alden, R Branford, J King.

Ipswich: L Lanham, R/R, K Doolan, M Wethers, M Tresarrieu, C Heeps, R Tungate.

On Sunday the Witches travel to Newcastle, still missing North. However, the Diamonds are also missing Steve Worrall, with guest Micky Dyer taking his place.

Newcastle: S Robson, C Nedermark, M Lemon, C Henry, L Lindgren, M Dyer, R Worrall.

Ipswich: L Lanham, R/R, K Doolan, M Wethers, M Tresarrieu, C Heeps, R Tungate.
