Sharks vs Ulster Prediction: An interesting top spot clash

Ulster will travel to Kings Park Stadium in Durban to play their round 6 match of the 2022/2023 United Rugby Championship season against Sharks. Check the teams’ recent performances and expert tips below.

Sharks come into this match after previously defeating Glasgow Warriors in their last United Rugby Championship match. The home team now has three wins in five matches, coming against Zebre, Dragon and Glasgow Warriors. However, their other two matches ended in losses against Western Province and league leaders, Leinster. While they host Ulster in this match, the home team will hope to get revenge for the May loss against the visitors. Currently in the league standings, Sharks is now seated 4th on the league standings, having 15 points in four league matches played so far this season.

Ulster will continue their league battle when they travel to Durban to play Sharks. The Ireland team has had a good start to the season, placing them second in the league standings. Ulster will look to make it five wins with this match out of six and continue to battle it out against first placed Leinster topping them at the league’s table with two points. However, Ulster is not expected to have it easy considering that Sharks also has a strong team. This season, Ulster now has four wins in their first five league matches with only loss coming against Leinster. 

The only time Sharks and Ulster faced each other, Ulster had a 24-21 close victory over the host. This season, both teams are in tremendous form and we expect another top quality performance from them. We expect Sharks to cover the spread while they play at home.
