Griquas vs Cheetahs Predictions - Griquas destined for Currie Cup final
The upcoming derby between Griquas and Cheetahs is set to be a thrilling Currie Cup semi-final encounter. Griquas have shown superior form, winning five of their last six matches and all home games this season. Their recent 40-10 thrashing of the Cheetahs boosts their confidence, making them likely to cover the -6.5 handicap. Meanwhile, the Cheetahs have struggled for consistency, coming off two losses but managing to make the semi-finals with a last-minute rally. Expect Griquas to leverage home advantage and changes in their lineup to push for a place in the final.
- Griquas recently beat Cheetahs 40-10 away.
- Griquas have won 5 of last 6, unbeaten at home.
- Cheetahs inconsistent, lost two in a row, may make team changes.

Griquas vs Cheetahs Predictions
This is a huge derby for these two sides but just two weeks ago, Griquas were comfortable winners in Bloemfontein. While the teams may differ somewhat, I am backing Griquas to cover the -6.5 handicap at home.

Head to Head
Griquas thrashed the Cheetahs 40-10 in Bloemfontein earlier this season.
Griquas Form
Griquas will be kicking themselves for not topping the Currie Cup table as they were in pole position to do so. They won five of their seven matches this season.
In the first round, Griquas lost away to the Pumas in Nelspruit but then hit a superb run of form, winning five straight games to lead the pack going into last weekend.
However, they came up short in Johannesburg as the Lions thrashed them 37-7 which pushed the Johannesburg side above them on the table.
Griquas Team News
Griquas will make quite a few changes to their side from last week. They rested a few players which ultimately cost them top spot. Still, they will fancy their chances of making the final.
Cheetahs Form
The Cheetahs form has been up-and-down all season. There has been very little consistency which makes them tough to read from week to week.
Despite a below par season, the Cheetahs have still reached the semi-final, albeit away from home against their neighbours. The Cheetahs lost heavily (40-10) at home to Griquas a fortnight ago.
Last week, the Cheetahs had to pull off a superb second half comeback against the Bulls to get two points and secure third place. They lost the game 35-31 but were down 35-5 at one point.
Cheetahs Team News
With two defeats on the bounce, the Cheetahs may make a couple of tweaks to the side from last week. They were much better once the bench was introduced.
Verdict
Griquas are backed to cover -6.5 against the Cheetahs.
Griquas -6.5
