Crusaders vs. Highlanders
The Highlanders enter this match with their playoff hopes effectively dashed, having lost eight of their past nine games. The Crusaders, on the other hand, remain firmly in the hunt for the top playoff seed. Historically, the Crusaders have dominated this rivalry, winning ten of their last twelve meetings, including a convincing 33-point victory in Dunedin earlier this season.
Further reinforcing the case for the home side, the Highlanders have gone 0-7 as away underdogs over the last year. While there are no clear patterns in the line or margin markets, the safest bet appears to be backing the Crusaders head-to-head at 1.16 with PlayUp. Several other bookmakers list this selection as low as 1.11.
Chiefs vs. Moana Pasifika
Moana Pasifika bring some momentum to this fixture with three consecutive wins. However, they’ve struggled against the Chiefs historically, with a 0-6 record in head-to-head encounters and covering the line just once in those contests. Every one of the Chiefs’ victories over Moana Pasifika has been by a margin of 13 points or more.
At home, the Chiefs are formidable – undefeated in seven matches over the past year and covering the line in six. Ten of their last eleven wins were by more than 8 points, while three of Moana Pasifika’s four away defeats were by 13+. The recommended play is the Chiefs to win straight at 1.16 (PlayUp). For those seeking higher returns, consider the Chiefs -7.5 at 1.45 with bet365.
Force vs. Waratahs
Both teams are riding four-game losing streaks, each having faced strong opposition. Home advantage leans the prediction in favor of the Force this week. Perth’s side has won all three of its matches as a home favorite in the past year, and with a bye in the final round, this is their season finale – an added incentive to perform.
The Waratahs have struggled on the road, losing all six of their away games over the past 12 months, both outright and against the handicap. The Force won last year’s corresponding fixture 27-7 and look well poised for a repeat. Back the Force head-to-head at 1.77 (PlayUp), noting that some bookmakers currently offer as low as 1.62 on this market.
