South Africa - Currie Cup
Prediction :
Fidelity ADT Lions wins the match
Ellis Park Stadium will host the round seven Currie Cup clash between the ADT Lions and the Suzuki Griquas on Saturday afternoon. The Lions and Griquas are third and first in the league standings, respectively. Let’s get into the match prediction.
This is a massive match for the Lions, who are on 21 points, level with the fourth-placed Cheetahs and only one point above the Pumas in fifth place.
While the Lions can still qualify for the knockouts even if they lose this match, it will require several other results to go their way. Thus, this feels like a must-win for the side from Johannesburg.
However, the hosts will be confident, having trounced the Bulls 44-5 here last week. They have won all three home games so far this season and scored 40+ points in each.
Meanwhile, Griquas have enjoyed an excellent 2025 Currie Cup season, currently on 25 points and needing just one point from this match to secure their spot in the knockout rounds.
The Kimberley-based side produced a commanding performance last weekend, smashing the Cheetahs 40-10 on the road, with George Whitehead scoring 20 points.
The visitors are now on a five-match win streak and have won eight of their last 10 matches in this competition since last season.
