We have our All Blacks vs Wallabies prediction for the 1st Bledisloe Cup Test at Eden Park this Saturday.
The All Blacks haven’t lost at Eden Park since 1994, and Australia will do well to beat the mighty ABs on October 10.
Our All Blacks vs Wallabies tips look at the best bets for the big game, and the latest rugby odds are available.
Eden Park has been a fortress for the All Blacks for decades, with New Zealand unbeaten at the venue since 1994. That kind of home record is incredibly rare, and it gives the hosts a significant psychological edge before the match even gets underway.
Australia face a much tougher assignment here than they did against a depleted South African side last time out. The Wallabies showed plenty of promise in that performance, but New Zealand presents a completely different challenge, particularly on home soil.
The -13.5 handicap requires a little more confidence, but we still expect the All Blacks to dictate the game. They have quality and experience across the park, while Australia may struggle to break down the ABs defence.
Our best bet is All Blacks -13.5, and it’s worth including in All Blacks vs Wallabies tips.
The total for All Blacks vs Wallabies is set at 58.5 points, and this time we’re backing the over.
New Zealand should have enough attacking quality to put a sizeable score on the board, but Australia also has the weapons to contribute. The Wallabies may struggle to contain the All Blacks for 80 minutes, particularly at Eden Park, but they should score a couple of tries to get the scoreboard ticking over.
We’re projecting a 40-20 victory for the All Blacks, which would take the match beyond the 58.5-point line. If New Zealand can dictate the tempo, and Australia are able to add a few tries of their own, this could develop into a high-scoring contest.
Our rugby predictions are confident with the over, and most games played at Eden Park are high-scoring.
The 21-30 point winning margin is one of our standout All Blacks vs Wallabies bets, with New Zealand paying $4.60 to win within that range.
The price looks appealing given New Zealand’s scoring potential at Eden Park. Australia could keep things competitive during the early stages, but we expect the All Blacks’ quality to eventually tell as they take control and build a healthy lead.
At $4.60, the 21-30 winning margin offers plenty of value and is a bet worth considering among this week’s rugby tips.
Our All Blacks vs Wallabies SGM pays $5.67, and it’s worth including in rugby tips this week.
There is good value with our same game multi bet this week, and we have the All Blacks covering the halftime and fulltime spread, and they could score a wealth of tries in the first half.
Punters should expect a high-scoring game, in what should be ideal conditions in Auckland.
