The penultimate match of the second round of the Rugby World Cup will see Australia v Fiji on the 17th of September. This Pool C game will be played at the Stade Geoffrey-Guichard in Saint-Étienne. Kick-off will be at 4.45 p.m. IST.
The referee for this match will be Andrew Brace, accompanied by Jaco Peyper and Chris Busby on the touch lines. The TMO, locked away in their bunker, will be Brian MacNeice.
There has been a fair bit of history between the Wallabies and Flying Fijians - the two teams having met on 22 previous occasions. Australia have won 19 of those encounters, and Fiji have managed two victories. There has also been one tied test. There seems to be a few whispers from the history books of another Aussie win on the horizon, but can a rising Fijian force meet the challenge ahead and create an upset? Let's leap into my Australia v Fiji prediction and see what we can find out.

🔍 Australia v Fiji Winner Prediction
There is a lot we can analyse when looking at this Australia v Fiji prediction. The last time the two sides competed against each other was in the 2019 Rugby World Cup, which ended up with Australia winning 39-21. On the other side of the coin, the Wallabies have won only one out of their last six matches compared to Fiji's four out of six. There is also very little to divide the two teams in terms of the world rankings - the Aussies in seventh and Fiji in ninth. This is certainly going to be a remarkably close encounter - likely one of the more exciting games of the tournament. Forced to decide between the two teams, I think the Aussies will just about do the business due to their greater RWC experience. That said, I think there will only be six points in it, so whether you are a betting fan or not, I would recommend giving this game a watch!

✔️ Australia v Fiji Betting Tips
1️⃣ Match Winner: Australia to Win
It's going to be close, but I think Australia will dig in and come up trumps by the end of 80 minutes. With that in mind, the question then turns to whether I think it's worth a punt on Australia to win at 1.33 at BoyleSports. To be honest, those odds aren't bad. They are not the greatest I have ever seen, but I would still be tempted to have a flutter.
2️⃣ Handicap Winner: Fiji to Win (+7)
If it turns out that I am right and that Australia will only win by six points, it would seem your best handicap betting option would be Fiji to win (+7) at 1.97 at TonyBet Sports. It is going to be an extremely close affair, however, and a single point different could turn your winning bet into a losing one. If you end up having a flutter, make sure you keep your bet sensible to avoid disappointment if things don't go as predicted.
