Griffons vs Griquas Predictions

This is a clash between the bottom two sides on the table but despite the Griquas poor performances, they have still been much better than the hapless Griffons. I am backing Griquas to win the game by 15+ points.

Head to Head

Last time these two met the Griquas beat the Griffons 47-21 in Northern Free State.

Griffons Form

The Griffons are rock bottom of the Currie Cup table having lost all six matches to date. They have a -211 points difference.

Most concerning for the Griffons will be their lack of competitiveness. Their only strong performance came in round four when they lost 47-45 to a very weakened Cheetahs side.

They have conceded 39+ points in all six games including over 50 on four occasions.

Griffons Injuries & Team News

Griffons have rotated quite a bit this season and that should continue this weekend.

Griquas Form

Griquas are second from bottom having won just once and lost five in their six games in 2024.

A comeback 34-31 win at home over the Sharks in round two has been the only cause for concern. They have not been their competitive selves this season, even on home soil.

That said, Griquas should have little trouble seeing off a Griffons side who quite frankly don’t belong at this level of competition.

Griquas Injuries & Team News

Griquas may opt to rest a couple of key players but will be desperate to get the win. I don’t foresee wholesale changes.

Verdict

Griffons v Griquas

Griquas are backed to beat the Griffons with ease. The -15 handicap is in play.
