Fifth-placed Airlink Pumas will wrap up their Currie Cup regular-season campaign traveling to take on seventh-placed Hollywoodbets Sharks XV on Friday. Can the Pumas boost their chances of sealing a play-off spot with a win against the Sharks? Follow our prediction for the match below.
This match is a dead rubber for Hollywoodbets Sharks XV. A four-match losing streak at the start of the campaign saw the defending champions lose momentum in their bid to defend the Currie Cup title.
However, they have bounced back lately, winning their two most recent fixtures. This includes a narrow 33-31 win over second-placed Boland Cavaliers in their last match. They will aim for a dignified finish to what has been a disappointing campaign when they take on the Pumas.
A strong second-half performance saw Airlink Pumas bounce back from a three-point deficit in the first half to defeat bottom-placed Western Province 39-13 in their last fixture. They scored five tries in the match, securing a crucial bonus-point victory to boost their play-off hopes.
Jimmy Stonehouse's men are just one point away from the top four and could seal their spot with a win against Hollywoodbets Sharks XV on Friday. They have won two of their last three matches against Hollywoodbets Sharks XV, including their last two Currie Cup away fixtures.
