The South African teams are set for a round of derbies this weekend in the United Rugby Championship.
Last weekend was a frustrating one for both the Lions and the Sharks as the Glasgow Warriors and Ulster were forced to withdraw from their respective matches in Johannesburg and Durban due to both camps being struck down with gastroenteritis infections.
The Stormers in turn were handed their first defeat in 13 games when they lost 30-24 to the Cardiff Blues in Cardiff. The Bulls bounced back in emphatic style with a 44-22 victory over Benetton in Treviso.
This week the Lions will be hosting the defending champions the Stormers on Saturday afternoon in Johannesburg.
After their match against the Glasgow Warriors was called off last week the Lions are desperate for game time.
The Lions assistant coach, Julian Redelinghuys said that not playing last week was frustrating, especially as they were wanting to return to winning ways following their narrows 39-37 defeat to Ulster.
