Force vs Hurricanes Predictions
The Hurricanes are the clear favourites in this game, although the Force pushed them close last year when playing away from home. Since the Force often do well at home, I am betting on them to win by 10 points, however a shock outcome is not implausible.
- The Western Force defeated the Hurricanes in their most recent home game.
- In their last two games against the Hurricanes, Western Force has either won or lost by fewer than ten points.
- The Hurricanes have defeated the Western Force in eight of the last nine meetings.
