The Steelers have not lost at home since November in a ten-game streak, and go into the weekend still in pole position at the top of the Premier Sports Elite League. With the added bonus of Belfast and Cardiff, the chasing pack, playing each other, the Steelers will be able to open the gap on at least one of them with wins this weekend.

Arriving at the Utilita Arena are the Dundee Stars, who have beaten both Belfast and Cardiff on the road this season. The Stars have picked up five points in their last four games, but sit outside of the playoff places on tiebreak rules - locked in on 22 points with Coventry. 

The Steelers have won two of the three meetings beteen the teams this season, but it was the Stars who were victorious last time out - a result that tended Sheffield's double-digit unbeaten run. Dundee's last win in Sheffield came almost two years ago on 15 February 2020.
