Stormers vs Glasgow
Inaugural winners the Stormers welcome the current champions Glasgow to the Cape Town Stadium. The home side returned to winning ways as they beat Munster 34-19 in the last match. The scoreline slightly flatters them as they only managed to secure the win late in the last quarter. Glasgow was beaten 28-24 by the Sharks as they scored 12 points in the last three minutes. Both these teams have shown that they have a strong bench so the match is never over until the final hooter. The Stormers will be looking to launch their potent backline if they can get clean ball at the rucks while Glasgow is the best counter attacking team in the competition so any errors by the home side will be punished.
TIP: It will be an interesting decision if Manie Libbok is available for selection because of the outstanding performance of Damian Willemse in the ten shirt. His game management and drop goal was the main reason for them getting over the line against Munster. Glasgow will be hoping that Huw Jones is fit for this match as he will be up for a clash against his former side. The home side will need their maul defence to be at its best as the visitors are deadly with the rolling maul. The bookies have the Stormers as favorites and I am also backing them for the win. The best odds on this bet are as follows: Tictacbets 1.35, SoccerShop 1.35 and Bettabets 1.35

PREDICTION
Glasgow will be looking to get their renowned running game going but it will be up to their forwards to win the physical battles. They scored a couple of brilliant tries against the Sharks when wingers Sebastian Cancelliere and Kye Rowe got involved. They looked a different team when their replacement front rowers came on the field. It will be no surprise if Johnny Matthews, Rory Sutherland and Sam Talakai get promoted into the starting lineup. The Stormers will need to win the set piece battle if they are to come out victorious. They do have the edge in this area therefore I predict a home win by 5 points.

Sports crazy fan that follows all major sport but the game with the oval ball is my real passion. Was an age level rugby coach and a huge supporter of the Springboks and diehard Liverpool man. I’m an experienced punter and sports writer whose predictions/tips are sure to stir up the emotions. I love the occasional wager on the underdog.
