The upcoming match between the Stormers and the Dragons in the United Rugby Championship is highly anticipated, with the Stormers entering the game as strong favorites. Despite a recent dip in form, the Stormers have an impeccable home record and will capitalize on the return of key players like Ruhan Nel and Damian Willemse. In contrast, the Dragons find themselves on a downward spiral, unable to secure a win in their last five away games. Consequently, experts predict the Stormers will comfortably cover a -27.5 handicap in this matchup.

Stormers vs Dragons Predictions


Stormers are strong favourites at home, with an impressive home and head-to-head record. My best bet is Stormers to cover the -27.5 handicap.

  • Stormers have won four of their last 5 home matches.
  • Stormers have won all 4 of their encounters against the Dragons.
  • Dragons have lost their last 5 away matches.
  • Dragons come into this match off the back of a 19-13 defeat at Ospreys. 

Head to Head


Stormers have won all four of their encounters against the Dragons.

Stormers Form


Stormers have been in top form at home at the start of their season, winning four of their last five home matches in all competitions. They come into this match on the back of a surprising 30-19 loss against the Sharks.

Their previous home results include wins against La Rochelle (42-21), Lions (34-27), Bulls (13-8), and Leicester (39-26), capping off an impressive run of form at home. 

Stormers are currently second in the United Rugby Championship, with 41 points after 12 matches.

Stormers Injuries & Team News


Defence coach Norman Laker said that it was massive to have the recent return of some key senior players and leaders, like Ruhan Nel and Deon Fourie from injury and Springbok Damian Willemse from national team resting protocols.

Dragons Form


Dragons have been experiencing a poor run of form on the road, having lost their last five matches in all competitions. They come into this match on the back of a 19-13 defeat at Ospreys. 

Their previous away results include losses at Perpignan (41-17), Cardiff Rugby (22-19), Benetton (74-21), and Munster (22-20).

The Dragons are currently 14th in the United Rugby Championship, with 20 points after 12 matches.

Dragons Injuries & Team News


Wales tighthead prop Dillon Lewis is still out with a long-term injury after tearing his calf.

Verdict

The Stormers have dropped off a bit in their recent fixtures but should be far too good for a Dragons side who have been relatively poor all campaign. The -27.5 handicap is certainly in play.
