Brumbies vs Crusaders Predictions

This should be the match of the weekend between two in-from sides. They are both fighting for second place, perhaps top if the Chiefs slip up. Less than a score should separate these teams, but I am sticking with the hosts to win.

Head to Head

Crusaders have won 12 of their last 13 matches against the Brumbies. However, in their last meeting (2024), the Brumbies beat the Crusaders 31-24.

Brumbies Form

The Brumbies are third on the table with 43 points, two behind the Crusaders and three behind the Chiefs. With the Chiefs playing before this fixture, both sides here will know what the requirements are.

While this isn’t a knockout, this result will decide who finishes second and third, although if the Chiefs lose to the Highlanders, the winner here could go top.

The Brumbies have won their last three matches after losing at home to the Hurricanes. They defeated the Waratahs at home, the Western Force away and the Reds at home last weekend.

The Brumbies will want to take second spot on the table in order to possibly get a home semi-final as well. A full-strength side is expected.

Crusaders Form

The Crusaders have been in superb form recently. Despite their home defeat to the Chiefs in early May, the Crusaders have won six of their last seven games.

Defeat in this final round match will likely see the Crusaders lose second place on the table. However, given their form, they have more than just a chance of taking the win.

After losing to the Chiefs, the Crusaders bounced back to beat the Waratahs 48-33 in Sydney and last week, held on to beat the Highlanders 15-12 on home soil.

This is a crucial fixture for the Crusaders, so I do not foresee many key players missing out.

Verdict

Brumbies v Crusaders

I am backing the Brumbies to win in what is expected to be a very tightly fought encounter.
