Scimitars face Milton Keynes Lightning on Sunday (5.30pm) in a quick return leg after beating them 3-2 away eight days earlier.
Sunday's game, will follow a trip on Saturday to Telford Tigers, is likely to be equally tough, but Scimitars expect to be at full strength.
Milton Keynes have strengthened defensively this year as well boasting good firepower, says coach Ron Shud
ra. He had to have strong words with the team after the first periods last weekend but felt "they responded well in both games having excellent 2nd periods" and feels confidence is growing with each game.
He had particular praise for the Farmer, Gibson and Brittle line "who are a handful".
So far the Scimitars fall short on goals-scored compared to most other teams in the English Premier League and this is an area Shudra wants to see improvements.
