Reds vs Blues: Prediction for the Match on April 25, 2025

Reds vs Blues: Prediction and odds on the Match on 25 April 2025

Reds and Blues will take on each other in week 11 of the Super Rugby Pacific, on Friday, 25th, at the Suncorp Stadium. The Reds lost their last two games, while the Blues won twice and lost once in their previous three. However, the Blues have also won their four head-to-head games against the Reds. Can the hosts continue their dominance over their visitors in this clash? I will take a proper look at the preview of this game and offer free betting opportunities.

Reds: Form and Statistics

The Reds have not been in good form, having lost 26-39 to the Brumbies in their last game. The loss extended their losing streak to two games, following an earlier loss to the Chiefs. However, they managed to score 15 goals against the Chiefs. And with a familiar outcome on their scoreline, they have not scored 30 goals in their last four matches. The Reds will have to go back to the drawing board if they genuinely want to bounce back to winning ways with the competition still fresh. The Reds are seated 4th in the league standings with 23 points in eight games, leading by five points over their opponents, the Blues.

Reds Lineup

The Reds will likely stick to the same lineup used in their last game. Some changes were made into the starting lineup in their recent games, with Jock Campbell relegated to the bench. After getting a chance to make back-to-back starting lineups for the Reds, Campbell was sent back to the bench in their previous game, and I think he will continue from there. Aside from Campbell, Heremaia Murray will be a good addition to the team off the bench. 

Reds Expected Lineup

Sef Fa’agase, Richie Asiata, Zane Nonggorr, Josh Canham, Lukhan Salakaia, Seru Uru, Fraser McReight, Joe Brial, Tate McDermott, Tom Lynagh, Tim Ryan, Hunter Paisami, Dre Pakeho.

Blues: Form and Statistics

The Blues saw their two-game unbeaten streak end in a 25-22 loss against the Crusaders in their last game. Prior to this loss, the Blues secured wins against Moana Pasifika and the Hurricanes. However, their recent loss didn’t affect their productivity level, having scored over 40 goals in their previous two matches. The Blues are seated 8th in the league standings with 17 points from nine games.

Blues Lineup

The Blues will likely have a slight change to the lineup that played in their last game against the Crusaders, with Anton Segner set to replace Dalton Papali’i, who is currently nursing a calf injury, at the openside flank. Caleb Clarke and Marcel Renata are still sidelined, paving the way for Angus Ta’avao and Cole Forbes to start in this game at wing and prop, respectively. Aside from these changes, all other players are expected to maintain their position ahead of this visit to the Suncorp Stadium.

Blues Expected Lineups

Joshua Fusitu’a, Kurt Eklund, Angus Ta’avao, Patrick Tuipulotu, Josh Beehre, Cam Christie, Anton Segner, Hoskins Sotutu, Finlay Christie, Harry Plummer, Mark Tele’a, AJ Lam, Rieko Ioane.
