Crusaders are coming off a 39-0 win over Rebels and will look to replicate that performance here. In that game, Crusaders had a decent 10-0 lead at halftime, and with a more settled play in the second half, Crusaders pulled 29 goals while conceding none. However, that win is Crusader's second in their last ten games, with one other coming against the Chiefs. In the meantime, their games against Munster, Chiefs, Waratahs, Fijian Drua, Hurricanes, Blues, and Western Force all ended in defeats. This season, Crusaders have just 12 points and are seated 10th in the standings.
Reds
Reds had a decent start to the season, but this side has struggled in recent weeks. Last time out, Reds played Blues at home, and they ended up losing 34-41. In the meantime, prior games to that defeat saw Reds win only one encounter, a 31-0 win over the Highlanders. However, games against Moana Pasifika, Brumbies, and Western Force ended in defeats. In the league this season, Reds have a total of 23 points from 9 games, positioning them 6th.
Expert Betting Tips
I will take a chance on the Crusaders in this game. The hosts have not shown that level of play we saw in the 2022/23 season and even played way below par. Reds, on the other hand, had a decen💃t start this season but💜 have struggled in recent weeks. This will be a tight one, but the road team won’t cover the spread here.
