Western Force vs Hurricanes Predictions - Force can upset the odds in Perth

Simon Lewis
Editor
Last updated: 18 Apr 2025

The upcoming rugby match between the Western Force and the Hurricanes is expected to be thrilling. The Hurricanes have an impressive history against the Force, winning 12 of their last 13 matches. However, the Western Force have shown resilience, particularly in their home venue, winning three of their last four matches there and performing well overall this season. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes have struggled this season, with only three wins in eight matches. This combination of factors leans in favor of the Western Force potentially covering the +4.5 handicap and possibly winning the game.

Western Force Form


The Western Force are enjoying a decent season with four wins and four losses in eight matches. They are currently sixth on the table, five points clear of the Blues in ninth.

The positive for the Force is that they have won three of their four home games this season, losing only to the Reds by four points on home soil. Last week, the Force were too good for the Highlanders, winning 29-20.

In the two weeks prior, the Western Force beat Fijian Drua and lost narrow at the Reds.
