Saturday's Super Rugby round four betting preview, free tips and where to watch
Bulls v Blues | Stormers v Jaguares | Reds v Sunwolves | Chiefs v Brumbies
Free rugby union tips, best bets and analysis for Rebels v Sharks, Chiefs v Brumbies, Reds v Sunwolves, Stormers v Jaguares and Bulls v Blues in Super Rugby round four.
Bulls v Blues
Sky Sports Arena, 3.15pm Saturday
Best bet
Bulls +2
1pt 4-5 Coral, Ladbrokes
Match verdict
The Bulls should break their try duck for the season at the third attempt and are worth backing with a small handicap start.
The Pretoria outfit have not been too bad in their defeats at the Stormers and Sharks and while the Blues have got a win on the board, it was at the woeful Waratahs. The Aucklanders have lost ten of their last 11 away matches.
Stormers v Jaguares
Sky Sports Arena, 1.05pm Saturday
Best bet
Stormers to win by one to 12 points
1pt 2-1 Betfair
Match verdict
The Stormers, yet to concede a point in front of their own fans, can make it four wins out of four for the campaign against Jaguares in Cape Town.
However, last year's runners-up proved a tough nut to crack on the road at the end of last season and have stayed within 13 on two of their last three Newlands visits.
Jaguares fly-half Domingo Miotti is the leading pointscorer going into round four of the tournament with 42 and there have been 20 tries in their three matches this season.
Reds v Sunwolves
Sky Sports Arena, 8.15am Saturday
Best bet
Reds -15
1pt 10-11 general
Match verdict
Returning home to Brisbane after three rounds on the road, the Reds should finally turn their enterprising play into a stylish victory.
The Sunwolves shocked the Rebels in their opener but they have conceded 11 tries in their two outings this campaign and may be left behind on the Suncorp scoreboard. They have lost 29 of their 31 Super Rugby away games, 19 of them by 13 points or more
Chiefs v Brumbies
Sky Sports Arena, 6.05am Saturday
Best bet
Chiefs -15
2pts 10-11 general
Match verdict
The Chiefs should get the Waikato cowbells ringing with a comfortable success over the Brumbies to make if four wins out of four for the campaign.
Two try-bonus triumphs sandwich a hard-earned victory over the champion Crusaders and a number of the visitors' squad will have to remain in Canberra because of a bout of the mumps.
The Chiefs have won their last six home games with the Brumbies including the 2013 final and the last five meetings overall.
Rebels v Sharks
Sky Sports Arena, 3.45am Saturday
Best bet
Rebels +6
1pt 10-11 general
Match verdict
A close contest is envisaged in Ballarat with the Rebels having bounced back from two road defeats with a solid home win over the Waratahs and the Sharks losing in Wellington after starting the campaign with wins over the Bulls and Highlanders.
Take the hosts with a handicap start. The Rebels won their first three home games in 2018 and 2019 and have lost only twice in their last 17 at home when scoring 24 points or more.
