Two sides that know each other rather well meet here, as the Lions host the Stormers at Ellis Park.

For the Lions, this is a game where they can show their credentials at URC level and test themselves against an accomplished side like the Stormers.

In beating the Sharks last weekend, were so impressive but their lack of consistency continues to be an issue for them.

For the Stormers, this feels like a tricky return to the fold, but they know they have what it takes to win on the road in the URC.

This will be frenetic and it will be close, but Stormers should hold their nerve and get over the line for an important victory.

Score Prediction: Lions 18 – 30 Stormers

3:00pm Bulls vs Sharks @ Loftus Versfeld Stadium

Betting Tip: Bulls 1-7 @ $3.00

BET NOW

A superb upturn in form and results for the Bulls should give them serious confidence ahead of this meeting with the Sharks and they will be desperate to keep momentum going.

Bulls have won their last three, including some big scoring wins and in front of their home fans, they will be chasing a big performance in this one.

For the Sharks, building on their back to back wins over the Stormers will be their key objective and they are more than plucky underdogs in this one.

All eyes will be on the Bulls here, who are one of the form sides in the URC, and they should get over the line in a hard-fought clash.

Score Prediction: Bulls 32-26 Sharks
