THE PREDICTION

All the pressure is on the Cape Cobras coming into this game as they simply have to win and earn the bonus point to have any chance of reaching the knockout phase. After losing their opening three games, they picked up a morale-boosting win against the Warriors last time out and they will know they need another strong performance to have any chance of beating the Lions here. The Lions are already assured of a spot in the knockout phase but they were under par last time out losing to the Dolphins so they will want to bounce back here and carry some momentum into the knockouts. While the Cobras will be fired up and motivated, the quality within the Lions eleven should prove too much for them. Expect Kagiso Rabada, Reeza Hendricks, Rassie van der Dussen and company to come back and make a statement in this one.
