Western Force vs Reds Predictions

Western Force were pretty strong at home last season, but they have not looked good in 2024. I fancy the Reds to win this one convincingly and easily cover the -11 handicap.

Head to Head

Reds have won six of their last seven matches against the Western Force, including the last three on the bounce.

Western Force Form

The Western Force are rooted to the bottom of the table with four defeats in four matches. They have just one point.

The Force lost 44-14 at home to the Hurricanes in round one before the Rebels beat them 48-34 in Melbourne. The only point the Force picked up was in an impressive away performance against the Brumbies where they lost 22-19.

Last week the Force were very disappointing as they lost 22-14 at home against Moana. It was a game they would have fancied winning but were never really in the game.

Reds Form

The Reds have made a stellar start to the 2024 Super Rugby season with three wins from four matches. They are just two points off the Hurricanes at the top.

The Queensland outfit began the season with a good 40-22 home win over the Waratahs before losing 38-33 in Melbourne to the Hurricanes. It was followed by an impressive home showing as they beat the Chiefs 25-19.

Last week the Reds were too good for the Rebels, running in tries for fun in a 53-26 away win.
