RM vs FBG Dream11 Prediction | CPBL 2021 | Rakuten Monkeys vs Fubon Guardians, 14 July

RM vs FBG Dream11 Match Prediction: Rakuten Monkeys must still be fretting over their appalling performance in the last match against the reigning champions Uni Lions. It was as bad a performance as it could be as Rakuten were mesmerized by the Lions, who won 8-1. That scoreline showed the huge gulf sitting between these two teams at the moment, and a gap that seems hard to bridge. Fubon Guardians are also coming into this game off a big 4-7 defeat against Wei Chuan Dragons. And not to mention that both Rakuten and Guardians sit outside the playoff position. The first stage of the CPBL 2021 campaign will end next week. That’s why this game at Taoyuan International Baseball Stadium, on Thursday afternoon, will be crucial as both can set the tone for the next stage of the competition.

Rakuten’s home advantage here gives them a benefit of the doubt. We back Rakuten to get the home win over Fubon Guardians.
