Chiefs vs Blues Betting Tips - Chiefs to end Super Rugby regular season with a win over Blues
The Chiefs, currently second in the Super Rugby standings with 46 points, are set to face the Blues, who need a win to secure a home playoff. The Chiefs have been formidable at home, winning their last five matches and seven of their last eight overall. Despite resting some players, they are tipped to defeat the Blues, who have struggled away recently and have lost three of their last four games against the Chiefs. The Chiefs are favored to cover the -5.5 handicap in this important clash.
- Chiefs are unbeaten at home in their last five matches.
- Blues need a win to secure a home playoff but have struggled away.
- Chiefs are favored to win and cover the -5.5 handicap.
The Blues will want a win to get a home playoff next weekend while the Chiefs have secured second place - they cannot go up or down, regardless of the result. Given their home form this season though, I do not see the Chiefs dropping this match.
