Pumas vs Stormers Betting Tips, Preview & Odds – Pumas to give Stormers a scare

The Pumas and Stormers meet in a Super Rugby Unlocked match at the Mbombela Stadium on Friday evening. The Stormers looked rusty last weekend, so the Pumas could well give them a game.

The Pumas are seen as the weakest side in Super Rugby Unlocked, but they have been decent in the competition so far.

Despite losing to the Cheetahs on the opening weekend, the Pumas showed resilience in the 53-31 defeat in Bloemfontein.

The Pumas were on the road again for their second match of the season, this time at the Griquas. The Pumas upset the odds with a 27-21 victory in Kimberley.

The Pumas have no reported injuries as yet but we will know more once the teams are selected on Wednesday evening.

The Stormers sat out the opening weekend of Super Rugby Unlocked with a bye.

While their opening match last weekend was a struggle, the Stormers won 23-17 at home against the Lions.

The trip to the Pumas will not be easy, but they do have the quality to come out on top.

Both wings in Sergeal Petersen and Seabelo Senatla will miss the Pumas match through injury.

Stormers hold an 11-2 advantage over the Pumas in their last 13 meetings.

Their last encounter ended 45-14 in favour of the Stormers at Newlands in the Currie Cup in 2019.

The Pumas are priced at 8.50 to win the match, while the Stormers are available at 1.07. A draw pays 29.00.

The handicap is set at 19.5 points.

The Stormers should have no problems winning the match in the end, but the Pumas are fighters and will give their opponents a match. Set-pieces will play a huge role, something the Pumas love contesting. That is why backing the Pumas in the handicap market is a smart move.
