Fijian Drua vs Rebels Prediction: A tight encounter than it looks on paper

Fijian Drua and Rebels will square it off at Churchill Park in the Super Rugby 🌞Pacific ro🎃und 15 encounter. Both teams come into this game seated 8th and 7th in the standings. How will this encounter end?

Fijian Drua are coming off a loss to Highlanders last time out in the league. However, that was this team's fifth loss in their last seven matches. In other encounters, this team was defeated by Rebels, Hurricanes, Brumbies, and Western Force. Despite those poor performances, Fijian Drua did well to defeat Moana Pasifika and Reds in that run. Fijian Drua have 21 points from 13 matches this season, positioning them 8th.

Rebels will look to end their run of poor performances when they play this game. Having lost to Brumbies last weekend, Rebels' run of losses has extended to five, with their first four being against Crusaders, Blues, Reds, and Chiefs. In the meantime, a look at this team's league performance after 13 matches read 26 points, where they scored 322 goals while conceding 448. 

The two teams have not been great in recent times, and they will need more 🐻luck here. At home, it is not surprising that Fijianꩵ Drua are overwhelming favorites, but that's not worth giving a try, especially considering they do not have a better season than Rebels at the moment. Rebels have struggled too much lately and will need to do better here, but I fancy them getting within the points in this one.
