Why We Like This Bet

The Pumas have found some momentum at exactly the right time, winning their last two matches and moving into the top four. Home advantage should also be important in Mbombela, where the conditions can be difficult for visiting teams. The Stormers have shown enough quality to make this competitive, but their recent defeat to the Cheetahs highlights some defensive concerns. We expect a tight contest, but the Pumas should have enough confidence and consistency to edge the visitors.

Prediction: Pumas to win 28-24
