We expect the two Walkers to be left out of the Northern Brave side with Mitch Santner and Ish Sodhi coming in to replace them. Apart from those two changes, we do not expect any other alterations to the side who have performed so well in recent games.
Northern Brave have won four games in a row in the Super Smash and will fancy their chances of making it five.
