Otago vs Canterbury Predictions
Canterbury are slight favourites for this game, but Otago have enjoyed a solid season to date. They have won both of their home games, and I am backing them to do it again.

Head to Head
Otago have won two of their last three games against Canterbury. They last met in 2022, a game Canterbury won 27-21 away from home.
Otago Form
Otago have started the season with two wins and two defeats in the opening four rounds. They are currently eighth on the table.
In round one, Otago lost at Southland, a game they would have certainly fancied winning. They bounced back in round two though, beating Auckland 27-25 at home.
Round three saw another impressive home victory, this time 31-26 against the in-form Bay of Plenty. Last weekend. Otago suffered a narrow 22-18 away defeat to Taranaki.
Otago Injuries & Team News
Other than in round one, Otago have been good this season. They are likely to make a few changes though as a midweek game against Wellington awaits.
Canterbury Form
Canterbury may be the most successful NPC side in history, but they have started the 2024 campaign poorly. They have just two wins from their five games and sit ninth on the table.
The Christchurch-based outfit made a winning start in the first round, defeating Northland 31-15 at home. They were then well beaten 22-7 at Tasman before defeating Auckland 27-21 away.
It was a double header week for Canterbury as they had a Wednesday game against defending champions, Hawkes Bay. Canterbury lost 27-21 at home. Last weekend, Canterbury put in possibly their worst performance to date, losing 46-21 at home to Wellington.
Canterbury Injuries & Team News
Expect quite a few changes to the Canterbury side this week after a poor showing on Sunday.
Verdict
I am backing Otago to get within the +4 handicap and win the match.
