Blood Bowl Preview

Lothlorien Griffons travel today (5:00pm) to the Snot Bowl to play their relegation rivals Eeip Itzasnake in the penultimate game of the season. Eeip, the only Snotling team in the league already look set for the drop into the second division, having not won a game all season, while the Griffons must be full of confidence after beating championship favourites the Maelstrom Crew 3-2 last Sunday.

The Griffons will be without hat-trick hero Grassrider, having suffered a broken hand in the closing minutes of the match against the Crew. It is hoped that he will be fit enough for Sunday 27th's game against the Harlem Horrors.

On paper, the Griffons look to be far too strong for Eeip and should pick up at least three bonus points in addition to the six points for the win, but as their coach pointed out in a press conference yesterday, Blood Bowl games are not played on paper. The match against the Crew last week showed that shocks can happen.
