Reds vs Fijian Drua Predictions


The Reds have qualified for the playoffs but will want to win their final league game to finish higher in the standings to avoid playing the top two teams in the knockout rounds. Fijian Drua have struggled to win on the road this season and are on a losing streak against the Reds away from home.

  • Reds have won 4 of their last 6 home fixtures.
  • Reds have won 3 consecutive home matches against Fijian Drua.
  • Fijian Drua have lost 5 of their last 6 away games.

Head to Head


The Reds have a slight edge with four victories to three against Fijian Drua in seven meetings.  

Reds Form


The Queensland Reds scored a late try to seal the match against Moana Pasifika last weekend, winning 33-31 away from home after leading 21-7 at half-time. 

The Reds have played well at home this season. They defeated the Highlanders 31-14, the Waratahs 26-17, lost 42-19 to the Western Force, and beat the Crusaders 31-26 and the Brumbies 30-21 before losing 31-21 to the Chiefs.

The Reds are 6th in the Super Rugby standings with 32 points from 13 games.

The team from Queensland will be pleased to have reached the playoffs after their last victory and will fancy their chances against Fijian Drua to potentially finish fourth in the table, as their opponents have been poor on the road this season, losing five of their six matches. 

Fijian Drua Form


The Fijian Drua let a first-half lead slip in their match against the Western Force last weekend, losing 19-15 away from home after leading their hosts 12-7 at the break. 

Before that result, the side from Suva had achieved little success away from home in the league this season. They lost to the Waratahs 36-13, the Blues 40-15, the Crusaders 69-26, and beat the Brumbies 33-28 before losing 42-22 to the Chiefs.  

The Drua are 10th in the Super Rugby standings with 21 points from 13 matches.

Fijian Drua have not been at their best in recent outings and have a poor record playing away from home against the Reds, losing three on the trot in Queensland.
