Bulls vs Lions Prediction: This game could go either way

Loftus Versfeld will host the United Rugby Championship encounter between Bulls and Lions. Which team wins this one? Below, I preview this game and make predictions.

Bulls

Bulls are coming off a defeat to Sharks and I will hope for a better result here. In a game that ended 19-29, the Bulls struggled in each half, losing 7-10 and 12-19. In the meantime, Bulls have lost two of their last five matches, the first against Castres Olympique. In the meantime, Bulls pulled off wins over Stade Francais Paris, Lions and Stormers in that run. This season, the Bulls have 34 points from ten matches, leaving them seated in third spot. 

Lions

Lions played Stormers in their last league contest and they won. In a 30-23 contest, the Lions needed a solid first-half performance to win, a contest that ended 24-6. Heading into this game, the Lions have lost their last five matches on the road. In that run, they played Leinster, Munster, Ospreys, Stormers and Montpellier. Ahead of this game, Lions sit 12th in the standings, pulling off 23 points from nine matches. 

Expert Betting Tips

Bulls have not been convincing enough and with the performances of Lions, I feel they might show a stubborn play. However, this game could go either way, considering the winning chances. Away from home, this will be a tough contest for Lions to bear. As the better side, I will back Bulls to win with a clear magin in a low offensive contest.
