Round six of the 2025 Currie Cup will get underway on Friday evening at the Free State Stadium, with the Cheetahs facing off against Griquas. The Cheetahs lead the league standings, while the Peacock Blues are in third place. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

After a narrow defeat to the Boland Cavaliers during the opening week of the season, the Free State Cheetahs have come roaring back, winning their last four games ahead of this one. 

Last week, the Cheetahs mauled the Lions 47-31 at this venue, scoring six tries, with Marko Janse van Rensburg dotting down twice, while Clayton Blommetjies finished with 11 points. 

The hosts have won all three of their home matches this season and are on a five-match winning streak at this venue across all competitions. 

Meanwhile, Griquas have also enjoyed an impressive 2025 season so far, currently on 20 points, and a win here will likely secure them a spot in this season’s semi-finals. 

The Peacock Blues recorded a 42-21 win over the Bulls on the road last week, led by a stunning performance by Gurshwin Nikhole Wehr, who crossed the whitewash three times in the match. 

Notably, that was only the visitors’ third victory in their last 10 Currie Cup away games, though they did draw at this venue on their last visit back in 2023.
