Dundee, Fife and Glasgow all play home on Saturday night on what they hope and expect to be their last weekend of games in front of restricted-capacity crowds of 200 spectators.

Scottish government restrictions come to an end after Sunday night after what has been a tough time for all three teams.

1900 Dundee Stars vs. Coventry Blaze (Webcast)
Coventry head to Dundee for the first time since December 2019 as ninth host seventh in the standings.

Both teams come into this game off the back of a win last time out - Dundee earned an overtime victory against Nottingham, while Coventry left Guildford with a similar win.

If the Stars want to make a playoff challenge in these final few months of the season, they'll need to sort out their home form - Omar Pacha's team have picked up only 12 points from a possible 22 at the Dundee Ice Arena. 

Coventry's road form, in contrast, is the main reason behind their league position. Danny Stewart's men have 10 points from a possible 18 away from home so far - just over half of their overall total. 

1900 Glasgow Clan vs. Manchester Storm (Webcast)
Glasgow and Manchester meet for the second time in 12 days at Braehead Arena with the two teams separated by just two points in the table but on very different runs.

Clan's four-game week last time out saw them pick up two wins, but a hugely impressive midweek victory over Belfast helped them into the playoff places once again and put them on a two-game win streak. Clan could catch Manchester with victory tonight, quite a feat having played six games fewer to date. 

Storm need to put an end to their negative series as quickly as possible. The team have slipped from fourth to sixth with a run of six straight defeats, and could end the night eighth if results go against them. Last week's meeting saw the Clan run out 3-1 winners.

1915 Fife Flyers vs. Guildford Flames (Webcast)
Guildford head up to Fife hoping to continue a week of positivity against a Flyers team looking for a turnaround in fortunes.

The Flames ended a long winless run with victory midweek against Nottingham in the cup, and now go to Scotland trying to find their first points of the season north of the border. Guildford have been beaten by a combined score of 14-3 on their three trips there so far this season.

Fife's midweek loss to Sheffield extended their negative series to eight games, and mean the Flyers have recorded just one win in their last 13 games. They are already five points shy of the playoffs having played three games more, and at risk of being cut adrift.
