Griquas vs Lions Preview

Griquas have not had the best season while the Lions, bar for one performance, have been very solid. However, in Kimberley, things can get quite tough for visiting sides. I am backing an upset win here.

Head to Head

Lions defeated the Griquas by 12 points at home earlier this season.

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.

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

Verdict

Griquas v Lions

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