The Chiefs are predicted to continue their dominant run at home against the Waratahs. With a strong head-to-head record and having averaged over 40 points per match in their recent home fixtures, the Chiefs are favorites. They come off the back of an impressive win against Moana Pasifika and are expected to cover the -20.5 handicap convincingly. Meanwhile, the Waratahs struggle away from home, having lost four of their last five away games. Key players for the Chiefs are under injury assessment, but confidence remains high.
