Waratahs vs Brumbies Prediction: Brumbies to make it consecutive wins

At Allianz Stadium, Waratahs will play Brumbies in round six of the Super Rugby Pacific. The two teams last meeting ended in a win for the Brumbies. Can Waratahs pick their first win since 2018? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions.

Waratahs

Waratahs played Reds the previous weekend and ended on the losing end. In a road game, Waratahs struggled in each half, losing 21-8 and 14-7. In the meantime, prior encounters saw this team lose three consecutive matches, coming against Highlanders, Fijian Drua, and Western Force. Ahead of this game, Waratahs have 13 points from the first four matches of the season, scoring 115 goals and conceding 105.

Brumbies

Brumbies played Fijian Drua in their last league game and secured a win. In a 38-21 contest, this team needed a solid first-half play to pick up maximum points, ending 28-7 as they lost 10-14 in the second half. However, the Brumbies first four matches of the season saw them lose to the Chiefs and Western Force, while picking up wins over the Blues and Fijian Drua. Ahead of this game, the Brumbies have 14 points from five matches, leaving them seated in 4th place. 

Expert Betting Tips

Waratahs have been an exciting side this season, but Brumbies just look more like a reliable side. Considering their past meetings, it is justifiable to back the Brumbies in this game, looking at their attacking threat even though they also struggle in defense. While I feel this game will be a tight one, I still doubt if Waratahs will close the odds.
