Cheetahs vs Western Province Predictions


The Cheetahs are favourites at home against a Western Province side struggling for any form. I am backing the hosts to cover the -18 handicap.

Head to Head


The Cheetahs did the double on Western Province last season. They won 26-19 in Cape Town and 37-17 at home.

Cheetahs Form


The Cheetahs will be confident of getting a result this weekend on home soil. The Bloemfontein side have won their last two games.

In round one, the Cheetahs suffered a surprise 37-35 defeat to Boland away from home. They bounced back with a 42-25 success against the Pumas a week later at home.

In round three, the Cheetahs were poor against the Sharks in Durban, however, they did enough to secure a 7-5 victory.

Cheetahs Team News


The Cheetahs will be eager to make it three wins in a row against a struggling Province side. There are likely to be some changes from their side from last week though.

Western Province Form


Western Province have made an atrocious start to the 2025 Currie Cup, losing their first three matches. While it’s early in the season, real threats of relegation will form if they don’t start improving.

In round one, WP lost 48-23 at home to the Bulls before going down 40-19 away to the Lions in round two. Last weekend, Province traveled to Kimberley where they were outplayed by Griquas, losing 47-17.

Western Province Team News


Changes are needed in the WP outfit but the issue they have is a very young and inexperienced squad. Expect a few changes but in terms of quality, there isn’t much they can do.

Verdict

Cheetahs are set for a big win. I am backing them to cover -18.
