The Blues have won three of their last five Super Rugby games against the Chiefs after having been winless in their 15 meetings prior.

The Chiefs have won their last five Super Rugby games on the bounce, each by a margin of fewer than seven points on the day; the last time they won more in succession was a seven-game streak from March to April in 2016.
