Chiefs -10 handicap @ 6/4

Winning the last meeting between these teams 27-15 in Hamilton, the in-form Chiefs will have happy recent memories of facing the Reds.

The Chiefs are flying in Super Rugby Pacific at the moment, winning each of their last five games to move up to third in the standings.

With four victories in their last six away games against the Reds, the Chiefs have also shown they are capable of consistent success in Queensland.

Recording three wins and two defeats in their last five games, there has been some inconsistency for the Reds, which counts against them looking at the tips for this game.

The Chiefs, who have conceded the second-fewest points in the competition this term, are the form team right now, and not only can they extend their winning run to six games this week, they are good value to cover the handicap too.
