Highlanders vs Rebels Prediction: Expect a competitive contest

This clash between the Highlanders and the Rebels will take place in round 13 of the Super Rugby Pacific at Forsyth Barr Stadium.

Highlanders - home side must take advantage of the weak visiting side?

After suffering defeat in each of their last five matches, Highlanders will be looking to pick up a win here against another inferior team. However, those defeats were against Hurricanes, Western Force, Waratahs, Chiefs, and Brumbies respectively. It is important to remember, however, that prior to those defeats, the Highlanders had won three games in a row before suffering those losses. With 15 points earned through 11 matches, the Highlanders are now in the 11th position in the Super Rugby Pacific.

Rebels - will Rebels step up?

The Rebels were handed another league loss by the Waratahs over the weekend, this time in a match that ended with a score of 38-20. On the other hand, entering this encounter, the Rebels will be hoping for a significantly improved performance in the hopes of putting an end to their recent bad form. The only victory for the Rebels in their most recent matches came against Moana Pasifika, who are currently in last place.

Expert Betting Tips

In this match, we will concur with the bookies. Even though the home side are not playing very well, they have the advantage of playing at their stadium, so we anticipate that they will prevail. While this is going on, we do not anticipate that there will be a lot of points scored here because both teams are not in top form.
