1X2 Tips For Rugby Fixtures Today
Edinburgh vs Toulon
Tip 1: Toulon to win
Reason for the tip: Edinburgh and Toulon meet in a highly anticipated Champions Cup clash with both sides naming strong line-ups that ensures a classic match. The home side will lean heavily on their back-three firepower with Darcy Graham and Duhan van der Merwe providing pace and finishing ability out wide with the young Harry Paterson at fullback. Wes Goosen and Findlay Thomson form a solid midfield pairing while Cammy Scott gets the nod at No.10, partnering the energetic Ben Vellacott at scrumhalf.
Toulon travel with a star-studded side featuring France international Melvyn Jaminet at fullback and the dynamic Paolo Garbisi steering the attack from fly-half. Nacho Brex and Jérémy Sinzelle provide experience in midfield while the dangerous Mathis Ferte adds flair on the wing. In the forwards, Zach Mercer, Lewis Ludlam and captain David Ribbans make up a powerful loose trio. The experience of the former champions in Europe make the French side strong favourites in this match. I am backing the visitors for the win as Edinburgh have struggled for cohesion this season.

Handicap Betting Tips for Today
Exeter Chiefs vs Cheetahs: Home team (-26.5)
Reason for tip: Exeter welcome the Cheetahs for a Challenge Cup clash that sees the former European champions heavily favoured to beat the South African minnows. The home side field a strong, well-balanced XV led by Dafydd Jenkins with experienced figures like Henry Slade, Olly Woodburn and Scott Sio supporting an exciting backline featuring Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and new centre Len Ikitau. Harvey Skinner and Charlie Chapman will look to control territory and tempo, while the back-row trio of Tom Hooper, Ethan Roots and Greg Fisilau brings power at the breakdown and ball-carrying punch.
The Cheetahs arrive with experienced campaigners like Carl Wegner, Victor Sekekete and captain Louis van der Westhuizen. Jaco van der Walt’s game management and kicking will be central to their plan while Munier Hartzenberg and Prince Nkabinde offer real threat out wide. Gideon van der Merwe and Juan Venter provide dynamism at the back of the scrum with Marco Jansen van Vuren at scrum-half. There is just too much firepower in the international laden Exeter team and I am backing them to win and cover the -26.5 handicap.

Understanding Rugby Betting
It is crucial that players understand the different types of rugby betting. If a player places a wager on a handicap bet with fully understanding it, he could think they won the bet but instead they lost the bet as they did not understand how it works. Our rugby predictions will give you the option of the three way bet or the handicap betting as our previews will focus on this.
Different types of Rugby bets
Match Winner
The most self-explanatory of bets to take on a rugby match. This is the most common and oldest type of rugby bet in which you select Team A or Team B to win. The odds on this type of bet may be low especially if your team is the favourite.
Draw No Bet
The draw is quite rare in Rugby Union, but it does happen from time to time. If you’re worried about the draw messing up your bet then take a Draw No Bet market. Your bet will be refunded if the match result ends in a draw.
Handicap Betting
The most popular bets on rugby are handicap bets. This is often where some of the best value is to be found. The handicap is an advantage that bookmakers give one team to make the game more balanced. The team given the positive handicap can win, draw or lose the game by less than the handicap to cover the bet and win. The team with the negative handicap must win the match by more than the points set out in the handicap to win their bet.
Total points over/under
The over/under betting market involves predicting whether the total number of points scored in a match will be above or lower than a certain predetermined number. For instance, if you bet on the over/under 50 points market and you bet on under, the combined score of the two teams shouldn’t exceed 50.
First Try Scorer
Rugby fans know the excitement that comes when a player breaks through the defence to score the first try. Betting on the first-try scorer is about predicting which player from either team will cross the try line first. This bet type carries higher odds as it’s challenging to predict, making potential payouts more lucrative.
Anytime Try Scorer
Less specific than the first-try scorer bet, the anytime try scorer wager involves picking a player you believe will score a try at any point during the match. The odds are typically lower than for the first-try scorer but offer a better chance of a payout.
