Predicting the winner of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific final clash between the Chiefs and defending champions the Crusaders will not be an easy one looking at the stats both teams have accumulated so far this season.

The Chiefs have set the benchmark this year as they have lost only one match this season and scoring the most tries and conceding the least points in the round-robin, while the Crusaders have scored ten more tries and their semi-final demolition of the Blues was a ruthless example of peaking at the right time.

The Chiefs have come out strongly with the points they have accumulated this season against their opponents and the points scored against them.

On the other hand, the Crusaders were not looking too good in that area but since 2018 the Crusaders have won a dozen finals matches and have not once been outscored in the last quarter.

All in all, the team that finishes strongest will likely win the match.

The Chiefs will host the Crusaders at 7.05pm Saturday in Waikato.
