Pumas vs Lions Predictions

This should be a cracking encounter, but the Pumas looked very good last week in Kimberley. I am backing them to back it up with a home win.

Head to Head

The Lions beat the Pumas 26-10 in their last encounter but that was in Johannesburg last season. The Pumas won earlier in the season 34-27 at home.

Pumas Form

The Pumas got their 2024 Currie Cup season off to a superb start last Friday, beating Griquas 44-24 away from home.

That victory will inspire plenty of confidence in the Pumas squad after a few very good seasons. They won the Currie Cup back in 2022 and ended as runners-up in 2023.

Going the distance in 2024 will be a major boost for the Nelspruit outfit.

Pumas Injuries & Team News

Pumas were excellent last weekend, so minimal changes are expected.

Lions Form

The Lions have struggled in the Currie Cup for some time now, but last week they got off to a stellar start.

Traveling to Durban to face the Sharks is never an easy task, and while they could easily have lost the game at the death, the Lions held on for a 26-25 win.

This weekend, the Johannesburg-based outfit are away again and another win on the road will see their stocks rise immensely.

Lions Injuries & Team News

The Lions may be forced into a few changes through injury.

Verdict

Pumas v Lions

My best bet is for the Pumas to win at home and cover the -4 handicap.
