Western Force is in top form for the season. They've won two consecutive. These victories came against the Brumbies (46-35) and the Waratahs (3-24). Tompkins Park, home to Palmyra Rugby Club, will host the Force's final two round-robin matches. The Force are presently at the top of the Super Rugby AUS standings after defeating the Waratahs on bonus points in their first away encounter. Max Burey, the first-ever Super Rugby AUS Player of the Week, hopes to take advantage of the competition's immaculate start. The Force's performance was far from faultless, with the Waratahs' solid scrum base repeatedly thwarting their offensive aspirations. After so much time in the legs, Burey believes his team will be more prepared to tackle the powerful Brumbies set piece this weekend.

Western Force vs Reds Match Prediction
Reds have named almost a Super Rugby starting lineup for this game v the Western Force who’ve decided to play a younger side and are missing Matt Philips from last week who is suspended. This could really end up being a blow out especially with the junk yard dog in red hot form. The Reds, eager to build on their recent win and prove themselves, will fight hard. With the odds in their favor, they will aim for a strong performance and a road win. However, I am backing the one in-from, Western Force, to get the victory.
Our first option is the -1.5 handicap Western Force with odds at 1.80 Odds on 1Xbet bookmaker.
Our second option is the Western Force Double Chance with odds at 1.60 on Betway bookmaker.
Our last option is the Western Force to win with odds at 1.69 on Bet365 bookmaker.
