Free State Cheetahs will travel to face Hollywoodbets Sharks XV in this 2025 Currie Cup matchday three fixture on Saturday. The Cheetahs will aim for two straight wins in the South African top flight, taking on the Sharks. Here is our prediction for the match.
Free State Cheetahs kicked off their 2025 Currie Cup campaign on a disappointing note, suffering a narrow 37-35 defeat against Boland Cavaliers. However, they bounced back in their last match, with scrum-half Jandre Nel's four first-half tries catapulting the team to a comprehensive 42-25 victory over Pumas.
François Steyn's side will look to maintain this newfound momentum heading into this match. They have won two of their last three Currie Cup matches, but have lost three of their last four away fixtures.
It has been a dreadful start to the season for defending champions Hollywoodbets Sharks XV. They began with a heavy 46-5 away defeat against Golden Lions in the opening weekend. This was followed by a crushing 64-0 away shutout against Blue Bulls in their last match.
JP Pietersen's side will aim to overturn this losing streak when they play their first home fixture on Saturday. They have won their last three Currie Cup home matches, including three of their last four encounters with Free State Cheetahs.

Our Hollywoodbets Sharks vs Cheetahs Prediction
Free State Cheetahs are bookmakers' favorite to win this match given their better recent form, but they haven't impressed on the road lately as outlined in our key points. Meanwhile, Hollywoodbets Sharks will count on home support to bounce back after two consecutive defeats on the road.
They have won their last three home Currie Cup matches, including three of their last four meetings with Free State Cheetahs. Nevertheless, we expect a close contest likely to go either way by a slim margin. Our Hollywoodbets Sharks XV vs Free State Cheetahs prediction is Hollywoodbets Sharks XV +7.5 handicap points.
