The Bulls have played the Reds 19 times in Super rugby since 1998 and the Bulls have won 8 matches, drawn 0 and lost 11 times.
The Bulls 8 wins out of 19 matches gives them a record of winning 42% of their matches against the Reds regardless of venue.
This weekend the match will be played in Pretoria which is home for the Bulls and the venue where the teams have met 8 times.
In those 8 matches played in Pretoria the Bulls have won 7 matches and lost 1. This gives the Bulls a record of winning 88% of their matches against the Reds at home.
The average score when the Bulls play the Reds in Pretoria is : Bulls 45 Reds 16.
That score is skewed a little by the freak 92-3 victory over the Reds in 2007 when the Bulls were playing in the final round to earn a home semi-final. That year the Bulls went on to win their first title.
The Bulls have won the last seven matches against the Reds in Pretoria and the Reds have not won in the city since 2001.
Average score: Bulls 28 Reds 23
