The Sharks have won three of their last four matches, despite only scoring more than 20 points once this season.

Sharks – 1/11

Lions vs Pumas
These two sides will be playing each other for the first time this season in Super Rugby Unlocked. Both sides are coming off a defeat in the last round, with the Lions experience giving them an edge in this fixture. In their last three fixtures the Lions have led at half-time but have only managed to close out one of those games.
