Brumbies vs Highlanders Predictions - Brumbies tipped for narrow quarter-final win
In an enticing Brumbies vs Highlanders match-up, the Brumbies enter as favorites with a 13-point handicap. Despite their strong form, having won 12 of their last 14 games, only one of their last six victories exceeded the 13-point margin. The Highlanders, though inconsistent, can challenge this spread. The Brumbies have won their last three encounters with the Highlanders and finished third on the table this season. For the Brumbies to win comfortably, their star players need to shine, while the Highlanders hope to push them close.

Brumbies Form
The Brumbies have enjoyed a fine season, finishing third on the table. This has secured them a home quarter-final and possibly a semi-final if they reach that point.
With 12 wins in their 14 games, the Brumbies matched the top two sides, but they were well behind in terms of bonus points picked up.
The Brumbies have won their last six matches in the competition since losing heavily at the Blues. Last week, the Canberra-based beat the Western Force 24-19 in Perth. Their last home game saw a 53-17 victory over the Rebels.
