So let’s go a little deeper on what’s to come in the next week.

The weekend begins again on a Friday night where the first of the double header commences and there’s no doubt how tough a task lies ahead.

 

Going to the home of the current champions is never going to be an easy night, but on current form, anything is possible.

 

As for the Giants, they bounced back to victory against Dundee Stars on Sunday to claim top spot in their Challenge Cup so, with four home points at stake, Adam Keefe’s men will fancy this weekend to come.

So it’s back to it a night later and of course, it’s yet to be seen if there will be any hangover from the Friday night meeting.

 

Regardless of how the first game has gone, both sides will be keen to end their respective weekends on a high note and this is the occasion to do it.

 

By the end, they’ll be well acquainted with each other, but how that translates into results over the two games will be the most fascinating part.
