Western Force vs Waratahs Prediction: Poor Waratahs to struggle again

Western Force and Waratahs will square it off at the HBF Park in the Super Rugby Pacific round 13 action. The two teams have not had the best of performances this season. Which team takes the maximum points here?

Western Force are off a win over Fijian Drua, which was their last time out in the league. In a game that ended 48-10, Western Force had a 17-3 lead at halftime and then went on to pull off 31 points, compared to their opponent's 7. This season, Western Force have a total of 15 points from 11 matches, positioning them 9th in the standings. 

Waratahs are off the back of three consecutive defeats; in this one, they will hope to turn the tables. In that run of games, Waratahs lost to Chiefs, Hurricanes, and Brumbies in games that ended 22-38, 41-12, and 21-29. Looking at this team's last victory, the Waratahs played the Crusaders, and they had to wait until extra time. The Waratahs are positioned in the bottom spot in the league standings with 12 points. 

Both teams need to do better in this encounter, as they have played below par this season. However, Western Force have done better in overall performance, and compared to Waratahs, who have lost more and struggled more, I expect the home team to win. Also, with high points in both side's recent games, a similar result is expected here.
