Crusaders vs. Highlanders
The Highlanders are all but out of finals contention, while the Crusaders are still in the hunt for the crucial top seed. The Highlanders have lost eight of their last nine games and were thrashed by 33 points by the Crusaders earlier this season. Historically, the Crusaders have dominated this fixture, winning ten of their last twelve encounters. Adding to that, the Highlanders have lost all seven of their last away games as underdogs. With no strong betting trends in the line or winning margin markets, the safe play is to back the Crusaders to win at 1.16 (PlayUp). Some bookmakers are offering odds as low as 1.11.
Chiefs vs. Moana Pasifika
Despite Moana Pasifika arriving on a three-match winning streak, history heavily favours the Chiefs. The Chiefs lead the head-to-head 6-0, with all those wins coming by margins of 13 points or more. Over the past year, the Chiefs are unbeaten (7-0) in home games and have covered the spread in six of those matches. Ten of their last eleven wins came by margins of 8+, while three of Moana Pasifika’s last four away losses were by 13+. Backing the Chiefs in the head-to-head at 1.16 (PlayUp) is recommended. Punters looking for greater value might also consider Chiefs -7.5 at 1.45 (bet365).
Force vs. Waratahs
Both teams come into this clash on the back of four consecutive defeats, although each has faced stiff opposition. The edge goes to the Force due to the home advantage. The Perth-based side is 3-0 as home favourites over the past twelve months, and with next week’s bye, this fixture marks their season finale. Meanwhile, the Waratahs have struggled away from home, going 0-6 both outright and against the line over the same period. The Force also comfortably won this fixture 27-7 last season. I recommend backing the Force in the head-to-head at 1.77 (PlayUp), with other bookmakers offering as low as 1.62.
