Reds vs Western Force Prediction: Don't write off the visitors

Suncorp Stadium will host this Rugby Pacific game between the Reds and Western Force. The hosts are favorites, while the road team is the underdog. Let's preview this game and make a prediction. 

Reds are coming off a 28-19 defeat at the hands of the Fijian Drua, and in this game, they will look to right their wrongs. However, this team's last five games show they have three wins and two defeats. Reds defeated Highlanders, Crusaders and Rebels in their wins, while they lost to Blues in one other encounter. The hosts are seated 5th in the league standings, pulling off 31 points in 12 matches.

Western Force comme into this game following a 27-7 win over Waratahs. However, that win made it their second consecutive win, as they also picked a 48-10 win over Fijian Drua in a previous encounter. However, a look at this side's last five games saw them lose two encounters to Highlanders and Chiefs but also picked a 37-15 win over Crusaders. Western Force have accumulated 19 points this season from 12 matches, positioning them 9th in the standings. 

The reds have been good this season, with different performances. However, I trust Western Force after their recent matches, and despite the odds not heavily favoring them, I feel they have what it takes to get within the points. Also, while both sides are expected to show some level of attacking play, we can expect a high-scoring game.
