Reds vs Fijian Drua Predictions

The Reds are not in the best of form heading into this fixture but Fijian Drua’s away form has been poor this season. I am backing a home win but I do think it will be by less than the 17.5 handicap.

Head to Head

Fijian Drua have won their last three matches against the Reds. Just under a month ago, Drua beat the Reds 36-33 at home.

Reds Form

The Reds will be pleased with their performance this season as they go into the final week placed fifth on the table. Defeat at home in this fixture could still be catastrophic if other results also go against them, however, that is unlikely.

After beating the Blues 35-21 at home at the end of April, the Reds kicked May off with a 36-33 loss away to Fijian Drua. They bounced back to beat the Waratahs 28-21 away before going down to the Brumbies in Canberra.

Last weekend, the Reds lost a thrilling contest at home to the Hurricanes, losing 31-27. It was a game that could have placed the Reds a place higher, so it may well still be on their minds.

Fijian Drua Form

Fijian Drua find themselves 10th on the table with no chance of still making the playoffs. They will simply be playing for pride in their final game of the season.

Drua do have some confidence after winning two of their last three fixtures, however, both of those victories have been at home. They defeated the Reds 36-33 at the start of May, lost at home to the Blues before thrashing the Western Force 38-7 last weekend.
