Tasman vs Waikato Predictions - Tasman set for bonus point win against Waikato
The Tasman vs Waikato NPC match centers on Tasman’s strong head-to-head record and overall team form. Despite two recent losses, Tasman has won 8 of their last 10 games against Waikato and remains a favorite for the title. Waikato’s inconsistency and recent close games put them at a disadvantage, especially compared to Tasman’s depth and past success. The recommended bet is for Tasman to cover a -13.5 point handicap, reflecting greater confidence in their ability to bounce back and dominate this fixture.

Tasman vs Waikato Predictions
Tasman have a good side and while Waikato have enjoyed some very strong results, their performances recently have not been up to scratch. My best bet is for Tasman to cover the -13.5 handicap.

Head to Head
Tasman have won eight of their last 10 matches against Waikato. Last season, Tasman won 27-25 away from home.
Tasman Form
Tasman are currently fifth on the table after seven rounds. They have won four and lost three to date.
At the start of the campaign, Tasman were the favourites to win the NPC, and they are still very much expected to challenge for the title. They started the season with a poor defeat but won four in a row thereafter.
A fortnight ago, Tasman, however, faltered at home, losing 29-21 to Auckland, a team that couldn’t buy a win up to that point. Last week, in a cracking contest, Tasman lost 31-25 to Canterbury.
Waikato Form
Waikato will be eager to get a couple of good results in the final two weeks. They are seventh on the table with four wins and three losses but have two less bonus points than their opponents.
Inconsistent results has plagued the Hamilton-based outfit this season. After beating Counties Manukau and Taranaki, Waikato lost at home to Southland and away to Manawatu.
Last weekend, Waikato managed to get back to winning ways with the narrowest of wins (29-28) at home against a struggling North Harbour side.
Verdict
Tasman are backed to cover the -13.5 handicap in this encounter.
