LIONS BETTING ANALYSIS

Lions got back to winning ways last time out against Boland, taking them to 18 points and putting them within touching distance of the semi-finals. They’ve been a stand out team across the tournament so far but won’t want to lose momentum going into the business end of the competition.

WESTERN PROVINCE BETTING ANALYSIS

Western Province are in a battle to finish in those all-important play-off places. Just one win from five games sees them behind the eight-ball and they will probably need to win all their remaining matches to stand any chance of breaking into the top four late on. Losing against the rock-bottom Dolphins in their most recent fixture was a significant blow.

LIONS VS WESTERN PROVINCE EXPERT PREDICTION

Although they aren’t totally out of the fight yet, Western Province don’t look like a team capable of making a late surge into the play-offs and that loss vs Dolphins really felt like a sledgehammer to their ambitions. Lions will leave any complacency firmly in the dressing room as they aim to maintain what has been an excellent league stage campaign so far. Back the Lions to get past Western Province here.
