Bulls vs Sharks Predictions - Bulls backed to thrash Sharks in Currie Cup
The upcoming Currie Cup match in Pretoria sees the Bulls taking on the Sharks, with expectations of a dominant performance from the home team. The Bulls, in strong form after a 48-23 win over Western Province, aim to capitalize on the Sharks' current vulnerabilities following their significant 46-5 defeat to the Lions. Despite last season's semi-final upset by the Sharks, the Bulls are anticipated to leverage their experience and form, likely covering the -25 handicap, as they seek a decisive victory.

Bulls vs Sharks Predictions
The Bulls should be far too strong in Pretoria for an inexperienced Sharks side. I am backing the hosts to cover the -25 handicap.

- The Sharks lost by 41 points last weekend.
Head to Head
In the 2024 Currie Cup semi-final, the Sharks beat the Bulls late on in extra time despite spending much of the game a man, sometimes two men down.
Bulls Form
The Bulls will be looking for revenge on a Sharks team that knocked them out of the Currie Cup semi-final last season. That fixture went to extra time where somehow the Sharks came out victorious.
But like last season, the Bulls have started this one in fine form. In round one last weekend, the Bulls went down to Cape Town and thrashed Western Province 48-23.
While the Bulls were shaky on defence on occasion, they dominated the game and more importantly, the set piece. They will be looking for another bonus point win this weekend.
Bulls Injuries & Team News
The Bulls will be pleased with their first outing and should select a very similar side to the one that beat Western Province.
Sharks Form
The Sharks are the defending Currie Cup champions after a dramatic run of results to claim the 2024 title. They beat the Bulls in extra time during the semi-final.
However, the Sharks squad in 2025 is looking rather fragile. They have a fair few talented youngsters, but they seriously lack experience.
This showed in last week’s 46-5 loss to the Lions in Johannesburg. The Sharks set piece struggled and from that, the Lions just grew in confidence, outscoring the Sharks comfortably to rack up a bonus point victory.
Sharks Injuries & Team News
Expect a fair few changs from last weekend but the Sharks don’t really have much depth and as already mentioned, lack experience.
Verdict
I am backing the Bulls to win big against the Sharks. The hosts are tipped to cover -25.
Bulls -25
