The British & Irish Lions will round off their Pacific tour this year, clashing with Australia in the final Test of their three-match series against the Wallabies on Saturday. Can the Lions pull off a whitewash over Joe Schmidt's side? Check out our prediction for the match below. 

The British & Irish Lions are on the verge of making history heading into this match. They are leading the series 2-0 and a win on Saturday could see them complete their first-ever whitewash against a Tier 1 nation in rugby's professional era.

However, it may not be a stroll in the park for Andy Farrell's side. They needed Hugo Keenan's controversial last-gasp try to secure a narrow 29-26 victory in the second Test in Melbourne. 

Australia closed in on what would have been both revenge and an upset in the second Test cracker before Hugo Keenan's late match-winning try turned the game around. The Pacific giants led by six points at the break before a nine-point second-half loss condemned them to their second straight defeat against the visitors.

For the Wallabies, it was a strong, statement-making performance in Melbourne and a precursor to what is expected to be a ding-dong series finale on Saturday. However, they have lost four of their last five Tests, including five of their last six home matches.
