The Blues are favourites in Queensland this weekend with a 10-point handicap. While the Reds have been inconsistent, they are generally good at home, winning three of their last four. The one defeat on home soil came by a single point.

Head to Head

Blues have won six of their last eight matches against the Reds. There has been one Reds win and a draw.

Reds Form

The Reds are currently sixth on the Super Rugby table with four wins and four defeats in eight matches. They began the season in good form but have dropped off the pace since.

After winning three of their four matches, the Reds suffered three straight defeats to the Force, Brumbies and Moana. Last week they bounced back to beat the Highlanders 31-0 at home.

Reds Injuries & Team News

The Reds have named a full-strength lineup for this encounter.

Blues Form

The Blues are second on the table with seven wins in eight matches. Their only defeat this season came against the table-topping Hurricanes in round two.

Since that defeat, the Auckland-based outfit have won seven on the trot. Their 12-10 away success against the Waratahs in round three was a close one but other than that the Blues have won by 20+ points.

Last week the Blues were superb at home as they dismantled the Brumbies 46-7. They put 50 on the Force thew week before that.

Blues Injuries & Team News

Expect a couple of changes to the Blues side as they continue with some small rotations to keep key players fresh.

Verdict

I am backing the Reds to get within 10 points with a small layout on a potential upset.
