Sharks vs Western Province Predictions

Western Province are favourites on Sunday according to the bookmakers. I fancy them as well, but I feel it will be closer than a seven point swing. My best bet is for the Sharks to get within a score of WP.

Sharks Form

The Sharks are fourth on the table after winning one and losing one of their opening two games.

A 32-16 home win over the Griffons in the first round was followed by an exciting 48-40 defeat to Griquas last weekend.

While the defeat came against the defending champions, the Sharks will feel they let the game slip when they could have won it.

With the first team in URC action, the Currie Cup side will be mostly made up of younger players.

Western Province Form

After a dreadful 2022 Currie Cup campaign, Western Province have made a decent start to this season. They have won both of their matches to date.

Currently third on the table on points difference, Province face a tough task in Durban this weekend. They beat the Lions 44-28 in round one.

Last week Province were again to good, this time winning 41-33 against the Bulls away.

Province are also missing their entire first choice side due to the URC. However, they have some decent depth and should produce a decent side.
