Waratahs vs Highlanders Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds | 08 MARCH, 2024

The Waratahs are set to host the Highlanders in their inaugural home game of the season. They aim to reproduce the impressive performance from last week and secure a victory against the visiting Otago team. In this matchup, the Waratahs are the favored team, with the Highlanders considered slight underdogs.

Concerns surrounding Darren Coleman's job security were completely dispelled after the Waratahs delivered an impressive victory against the reigning champions, the Crusaders, last week in Melbourne. Against all expectations, the Waratahs showcased a sublime performance, defeating the defending champions 37-24. While the Crusaders dominated possession as anticipated, the Waratahs excelled in defense, with just 19 missed tackles and a remarkable 167 successful ones. Compared to their performance in Round 1 against the Reds, the Waratahs displayed significant improvement, combining strong defense with clinical execution of their opportunities to overcome the Kiwis. Facing another New Zealand side this week, they are eager to extend their current three-game home winning streak against the Highlanders. The return of midfield maestro Perese adds an extra dimension to their strong ball-carrying threat, further boosting their prospects.

The Highlanders began last week's match against the Blues with a strong start, leading 15-8 as halftime approached. Unfortunately, a series of lapses in concentration led to conceding two quick tries, resulting in them trailing 15-22 at halftime. This shift in momentum significantly influenced the game's outcome, and the Highlanders struggled to mount a comeback thereafter. This pattern of showcasing positive phases of play but lacking ruthlessness in crucial moments has been a persistent issue for the Highlanders.

The shift in the handicap indicates a preference for the Highlanders, but I believe it has now moved excessively and presents an opportunity to find value in favor of the Waratahs for the win. The positive outcome last week likely boosted the team's confidence, and I anticipate that the Highlanders' playing style will create opportunities for the Waratahs to score both through counter-attacks and sustained phase play. The developing partnership between Jake Gordon and Tane Edmed for the Waratahs has left a positive impression on me, and I believe they can effectively guide the team to victory. Consequently, I am placing my bet on the Waratahs to cover the -3 handicap.
