Bookies back WP at Newlands

Cape Town - Western Province will beat the Sharks at Newlands and secure a home Currie Cup semi-final if bookmakers are to be believed...

The Sharks visit Cape Town on Saturday for their much-anticipated top-of-the-table clash.

The Sharks have already secured a home semi-final and WP will do likewise should they emerge victorious.

Kick-off is at 17:05.

Leading SA bookmakers Sportingbet have installed WP as 2/9 favourites to win, while the Sharks can be backed at 7/2. The draw is on offer at 14/1.

WP have been given 9-point handicap which appears somewhat surprising considering the relative form of the two teams this season. The return of a number of Springboks to the WP line-up, coupled with the fact they're fighting for a home semi-final, has no doubt swayed the bookies.



If you're feeling brave enough to pick a winning margin for either team, WP by 6-10 at 9/2 looks like the most attractive proposition.

For those die-hard Sharks fans, the visitors squeaking a narrow 1-5 point win at 8/1 looks like the bet to take.
