Blues vs. Crusaders Predictions: A Tough Match Awaits You

Blues are playing against Crusaders at the Eden Park in Auckland this Saturday at 18th June 2022 at 10:05 a.m. (Moscow time). The match will surely be a challenging one and we are excited. 

The Blues have been nearly perfect this season, easily dominating the regular season table. Following a loss on the first weekend, the Auckland-based team has won 15 straight matches, including a quarter and semi-final.

This winning streak included a 27-23 road victory over the Crusaders in April of this year. It was the Blues' first victory against their opponents in 14 attempts.

The Blues easily defeated the Highlanders 35-8 in the quarter-finals before defeating the Brumbies 20-19 last week. It was a close game that the Brumbies could easily have won at the death. It demonstrated that the Blues are not unstoppable.

Despite a few hiccups, the Crusaders have had a successful season. They finished second in the table and may be the only squad capable of winning at Eden Park.

Following a 24-21 loss to the Waratahs at the end of April, the Crusaders have won six consecutive games. Apart from the Brumbies and the Reds, they were regularly tested.

The Reds were defeated 37-15 in the quarter-finals by the Christchurch-based team. Last week, the Chiefs were defeated 20-7 in the semi-finals.

This final's sole certainty is that it will be extremely tight. The sides are evenly matched, and the bookies believe it can go any way with the handicap set at one point. Given that game is being played at Eden Park and that the Blues have already beaten the Saders this season, I am going to support them to win.

• Blues to win for 1.8
• Total Under 41.5 for 1.8
• Handiсap Blues (-0.5) for 1.8
