Reds vs. Chiefs Predictions - Super Rugby Week 13 2026

We have Reds vs. Chiefs predictions for Super Rugby Week 13 on Friday, May 8 at 7:35pm at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.

One of the biggest games of the week is Reds vs. Chiefs, where the Chiefs are -6.5 favourites to win on the road.

Best Bet

Chiefs -6.5 @ $1.90

We love a good Australia vs. New Zealand battle, and on this occasion, we have the Kiwis coming out on top.

The Chiefs could move to the top of the table with a win, and although the Reds have shown up at times this season, they haven’t been as consistent as we would have liked. They are fifth on the ladder, but they’re a level below the Chiefs.

Coming off a bye week makes the Chiefs tough to beat. They’re fresh and ready to fire, and they have a good record in Australia. Therefore, the -6.5 line is good enough to include in Super Rugby picks this week, and it could move to -7.5 just before kickoff.

Same Game Multi

Chiefs -6.5, Kyren Taumoefolau Anytime Try Scorer, Tyrone Thompson Anytime Try Scorer, Over 58.5 Points @ $8.75

Kyren Taumoefolau is the $1.75 favourite to score a try, having scored doubles in two of his last three games. He’s a dynamic player for the Chiefs when he’s on his game, and we’re hoping that’s on Friday night.

The same goes for Tyrone Thompson, who scored a double earlier this season, and the $2.20 odds are generous. It should be a high-scoring game, and he should be tough to stop close to the line.

It’s a big line to cover at 58.5 points, but it could be an exciting contest with plenty of tries. We have the Chiefs winning 38-24, so include the over in Super Rugby SGM picks.

Best Value Bet

Chiefs 13+ @ $2.70

It’s not easy to beat the Reds by a big margin, but if any team can pile on the points quickly, it’s the Chiefs.

They have a loaded attacking outfit, and their forward pack is also superior to most teams. If their scrum puts pressure on the Reds, it could be a long night for the home team.

Look for the platform to be set by the Chiefs forwards before the backs cash in with plenty of tries.
