The Opta stats make it pretty hard to pick a clear favourite for Saturday's Super Rugby clash between the Crusaders and Chiefs.
0
The Crusaders have never beaten the Chiefs in the playoffs. This will be the third finals meeting between these teams after they met in the semifinals of both 2012 and 2013, the Chiefs earning wins in both but by no more than three points on either occasion.
0
However, the Crusaders have never lost a finals fixture when playing as the home team. (W17).
10
Each of the previous 10 all-New Zealand semi-finals in Super Rugby history have been won by the home side.
2011
The last time the Crusaders beat the Chiefs back-to-back. The Crusaders won 31-24 when these teams met in Round 13 this season, their first win against the Chiefs since 2014; they'll now be looking for back-to-back wins against them for the first time since Round 14, 2011.
15
The Crusaders equaled the Super Rugby record with their 15th win of the season last weekend; a 16th win would give them the record for most wins in a single season outright, a tally the Lions could also reach should they beat the Hurricanes. The Reds have recorded 16 wins over their last four seasons.
6
This will be the Chiefs' sixth appearance in a semifinal, with each of their last five attempts won by the home team on the day (Chiefs W3, L2).
17.47
The Crusaders (17m 47secs) average the most time in possession of any team so far this season, while the Chiefs (14m 19secs) average the least.
16
The Chiefs have conceded just 16 tries when defending for more than one phase this season, fewer than any other team in the competition.
74
Only Damian McKenzie (74) has beaten more defenders than David Havili (58) so far this campaign.
37
James Lowe has made 37 clean breaks so far this season, four more than any other player, and has found the try line in five of his last six games against the Crusaders.
