Highlanders vs Fijian Drua Prediction: Highlanders to redeem themselves

Highlanders will play Fijian Drua in the Super Rugby Pacific at Forsyth Barr Stadium. Highlanders won the last meeting of this fixture. Can the visiting Fijian Drua prove a point here?

Highlanders

The Highlanders are off a 47-13 defeat at the hands of the Blues, their second defeat in the last five games. In the meantime, their game against the Reds is in the middle of April. However, this team has also done well in picking wins in their matches against Crusaders Moana Pasifika, Western Force, in that span of five games. However, Highlanders have accumulated 23 points from 12 matches this season, positioning them 7th in the league standings. 

Fijian Drua

Fijian Drua secured a 28-19 win over the Reds last weekend, and they will have high hopes here also. In a game that ended 28-19, a 4-point lead in the first half gave them a good advantage, and with a 10-5 win in the second half, Fijian Drua were able to put an end to consecutive matches. This team has accumulated 21 points this season, two below their opponent, leaving them occupying the last spot in the playoffs. 

Expert Betting Tips

I am on the over here. The two teams are average at the same level, and it is tough to trust Highlanders with a strong margin following consecutive inconsistent performances. However, while Fijian Drua have not had a win in this fixture, they have few expectations, but I feel they will pull some good points here.
