The Crusaders will claim a convincing win against the Lions in Christchurch on Saturday, according to the bookies.

Bet.co.za has given the Lions a +18.5 handicap, which means it believes the Crusaders will win by more than 18 points. It has the hosts as overwhelming favourites at 1/10 with the Lions rank-outsiders at 7/1.

That means that if the Crusaders win, for every R1 you put on them, you will get that amount and 10 cents back. If the Lions win, for every R1 you put on them, you will get that amount and R7 back.

Bet365 has established the Crusaders as 2/25 favourites, with Ladbrokes at 1/12 and William Hill at 1/9.
