Griquas vs Lions Predictions


At home Griquas are normally very competitive, so I don’t expect the Lions to have it all their own way. My best bet is for Griquas to get within 8 points.

  • Griquas have lost 3 of their last 4 matches.
  • Griquas lost their last match to the Lions.
  • Griquas conceded 66 points last weekend.
  • Lions have won 3 of their last 4 matches.

Head to Head


The Lions beat Griquas 25-13 a fortnight ago.

Griquas Form


The Griquas have been very inconsistent in the first four rounds of the Currie Cup. They have managed just one win thus far.

They have lost twice to the Pumas, including 66-26 last weekend. The Kimberley side beat the Sharks in round two at home but also lost 25-13 at the Lions two weeks ago.

Generally, Kimberley is a fortress for the Griquas, and they will heavily rely on that this weekend to get a positive result.

Griquas Injuries & Team News


Griquas were shocking last week in Nelspruit and will quickly need to get back on track. I expect them to make quite a few changes.

Lions Form


The Lions have won three of their opening four games of the 2024 Currie Cup season.

After beating the Sharks 26-25 in round one, the Lions smashed the Pumas 75-21 in Nelspruit. That was followed by a solid home win over Griquas.

Last week, at home to the Sharks, the Lions just weren’t quite at the races. They lost the game 35-22.

Lions Injuries & Team News


Expect a few changes to the Lions side after a dismal performance last weekend.

Verdict

Griquas are tipped get within eight points and perhaps win the game.
