Reds vs Blues Prediction: Blues to display quality again

Reds and Blues will take on each other in week 10 of the Super Rugby Pacific. Both teams were on the winning side last weekend and will hope to keep the momentum high here. How will this game end?

Reds

Reds were impressive the previous weekend, securing a dominant win over Highlanders. In a game where they did not concede a single goal, the Reds took a 17-0 win at halftime, and their second half ended 14-0. In the meantime, the prior encounter to that win saw Reds lose three consecutive matches against Western Force, Brumbies, and Moana Pasifika. The Reds are seated 6th in the league standings with 22 points, ten points adrift of their opponents.

Blues

Blues are on a run of victories, and after their loss to league-leading Hurricanes in week 3, Blues have now gone on to win five consecutive matches. In their last league game, Blues took on Brumbies, holding them to just seven goals while scoring 46. In the meantime, Blues have conceded only 10 goals in a game in their last five matches, while they picked to win in each encounter. In that same run, the visiting team scored 138 in that span.

Expert Betting Tips

Blues keep showing why they are league contenders week by week, and they are on a perfect run of successive victories. Reds have not been great this season, but they scored 31 past the Highlanders while showing a lot of defensive solidity. Blues have the best defense this season, with less than points conceded in their last four games. The hosts are inconsistent, and with Blues’ hot form, the road side should get the job done in both halves of the game.
