Best Bet

Reds @ $2.50

Bet Now

It has been an odd year for the Reds, who looked good at the start, but they were pumped by the Hurricanes two weeks ago before being pumped again by the Force.

However, despite two shocking performances, we fancy their chances of beating the Crusaders, who are down two All Blacks to injury, and that could be enough to see the Reds pull off an upset at home.

There has been some trepidation in betting markets towards the Crusaders, and although they still have a quality team with All Black talent, the Reds are desperate for a win, and that could be enough to get it done at $2.50 odds.

It’s a good price given the situation, and money could come for them on game day.

Same Game Multi

Reds, Tim Ryan Anytime Try Scorer, Sevu Reece Anytime Try Scorer, Over 56.5 Points @ $10.50

Bet Now

Tim Ryan looked good when scoring in his last game and tries were hard to come by for the Reds. Punters get $2.05, which gives the multi bet a good boost.

Sevu Reece has three tries in his last two games, and the All Blacks winger should get another chance to score a try. He is one of the best finishers in Super Rugby, and he’s the $1.78 favourite for a reason.

We expect a high-scoring game, so over 56.5 points is a good addition. We expect the score to be around 35-30, which would continue the trend of games going over the total in 2026. The line could move to around 58.5 late in betting, so take the opening line.

Best Value Bet

Penalty Try Reds @ $6.60

Bet Now

There have been a few penalty tries in Super Rugby, and with the Crusaders missing a couple of key forwards, their forward pack could struggle close to the line.

We’re backing the Reds scoring a penalty try at $6.60, which might be a unique bet, but at the odds, it’s worth including in picks as a value bet.
