Lions vs Stormers Prediction: We are backing the Stormers to win

During the 2022-2023 United Rugby Championship season, match seven will take place at Johannesburg’s Ellis Park Stadium, pitting Lions versus Stormers. We have provided the match details along with some carefully considered betting alternatives.

The Lions will enter this encounter with three wins and two losses from their first five matches in the United Rugby Championship. The Lions were upset by Ulster in a very close game last week at home, suffering a 37-39 loss to their opponent. On the other hand, the host squad will only be focused on getting a victory this time, hoping to do well enough to avoid consecutive league defeats. They have played five matches thus far and have racked up fifteen points, which puts them in eighth place in the league after only those five matches. During the current campaign, they have a point differential of -134 after scoring 133 and allowing 134.

After a tense match with a score of 30-24, the Stormers' first loss in the 2022/2023 league season came away from home against Cardiff Rugby. The head coach of the Stormers, John Dobson, is sure to be dissatisfied with that performance and will undoubtedly have higher expectations for a better showing from his players. On the other hand, it is not anticipated that their defeat to Cardiff Rugby will impact the outcome of this game because they are currently focused on achieving victory in the United Rugby Championship. They came in second place to Leinster in the previous season's competition.

Even though Leinster isn't at home, they are a huge favorite to win this match. Although the Lions consistently make it difficult for them to win, we are confident that the Stormers' formidable roster will bring them the victory they require in this match.
