Pumas vs Sharks Predictions


The Sharks found some form last weekend when they beat the Lions. However, the Pumas have been very good besides in round two, so I’m backing the hosts to get the win in Nelspruit.

Head to Head


Pumas beat the Sharks 31-21 in Durban a fortnight ago.

Pumas Form


The Pumas have made a solid start to the 2024 Currie Cup season, winning three of their four games.

A 44-24 victory at Griquas in round one was followed by a 75-21 defeat to the Lions on home soil. The Pumas bounced back to beat the Sharks 31-21 in Durban the following week.

Last weekend, the Pumas were in superb form once again, beating Griquas 66-26 at home. The performance was that of a confident team, dominating almost every aspect of the game.

Sharks Form


The Sharks are struggling this season with three defeats in four matches. They lost by a point to the Lions in round one before going down by three points to Griquas a week later.

In round three, the Sharks were beaten 31-21 at home by the Pumas. However, last week the Sharks showed what they are capable of, beating the Lions 35-22 in Johannesburg.

The Sharks showed improvement last week and should have a similar side available this Saturday.

Pumas are backed to cover the -8 handicap at home.
