Brumbies vs Highlanders Predictions


The Brumbies are favourites with an 8.5 handicap, but they’ve been inconsistent this season. The Highlanders on the other hand have lost three games but all by close margins. I am backing the visitors to get inside the 8.5 handicap.

  • Brumbies have won 3 of their 6 matches this season.
  • Brumbies have won their last 4 matches against the Highlanders.
  • Highlanders have lost 3 of their last 5 matches.
  • Highlanders have not lost by more than 8.5 points this season.

Head to Head


The Brumbies have been victorious in their last four fixtures against the Highlanders. They have scored 27 or more points in each of those fixtures.

Brumbies Form


The Brumbies are underperforming by a long show this season. They have played six games, won three and lost three.

A win on the opening weekend against Fijian Drua away from home was followed by a surprise defeat at home to the Western Force. They then comfortably lost at the Chiefs before a superb performance saw the Brumbies win in Auckland by a point against the Blues.

The Canberra outfit backed it up with a 38-21 home win in round five against Fijian Drua, but then last week came up short against the Waratahs, losing 28-23.

Brumbies Injuries & Team News


The Brumbies need a home win badly to stay in touch with those above them. They are very likely to pick their strongest available side later this week.

Highlanders Form


The Highlanders have endured a strange season thus far with two wins and three defeats in five matches. They are seventh on the table.

However, all the Highlanders games have been close, win or lose. They lost by a point in round one to the Waratahs before beating the Blues by eight points at home. That was followed with a two-point success against Moana.

Thereafter, in round four, the Highlanders lost 20-18 to the Hurricanes at home and then lost 29-23 at home to the Reds this past weekend.

Highlanders Injuries & Team News


The Highlanders have been so close this season and could easily have been in the top three. They are likely to field a strong side in this away fixture.

Verdict

The Brumbies should have too much quality for the Highlanders, but the New Zealand outfit can get within the 8.5 handicap.
