The last three matches between the Bulls and the Brumbies have been won by the team that was playing at home.
The luck of the new Super Rugby draw caused these two teams to miss each other last year so the last time they played each was in the Super 14.
The Bulls and the Brumbies have played each other 13 times and the Bulls have only won five times and lost eight matches. This translates to the Bulls winning 39 % of their matches against the Brumbies.
The average score when these teams play is Bulls 26 and Brumbies 32 but in Pretoria the scores swing in favour of the Bulls to an average of Bulls 30 and Brumbies 25.
In Pretoria the teams have played each other seven times and surprisingly the Bulls have only won four times and lost three times. However the Brumbies have not won in Pretoria since 2006 when they beat the Bulls 21-27.
The Bulls have therefore won 57 % of their matches against the Brumbies at Loftus.
The Brumbies have taken a squad packed with players who are making their first tour of South Africa. This might turn out to be a clever thing by coach Jake White as his players won't be intimidated by Loftus as many won't have played there before.
The match should be a fantastic clash as the Bulls are looking for an eleventh win over Australian opposition and the Brumbies are currently Australian Conference leaders.
The Bulls have a bye next weekend so they will throw everything at the Brumbies. Under White, the Brumbies should be fit and should last the 80 minutes but they won't handle the physicality. Bulls to win by 12 - Or more.
This match will be shown on TV in NZ, Aus, SA and in the UK on Sky Sports HD4.
