The Stormers and Lions meet again in United Rugby Championship play, with recent dominance favoring the hosts, but momentum and context adding intrigue to the latest chapter.
The Stormers have won four of the last five meetings between the sides, though the Lions claimed the most recent matchup in February 2025, earning a 30-23 victory in Round 11 of the URC season. In that game, the Lions struck first and controlled the contest for 66 minutes, holding off a late Stormers push.

Form entering this fixture strongly favors the Stormers. They have won all five of their most recent matches and sit fifth overall among 24 teams in the Champions Cup standings, reflecting sustained performance across competitions.
The Lions arrive with three wins in their last five outings but come off back-to-back losses in European competition, creating a contrasting run of results as they return to domestic play.
Playing at DHL Stadium provides the Stormers with a familiar platform as they look to extend their winning streak and reassert control in the rivalry.
The Lions, meanwhile, aim to replicate their February success and reverse recent European struggles with a statement URC performance on the road.
