1X2 Tips For Rugby Fixtures Today
England vs Argentina
Tip 1: England to win
Reason for the tip: Two in-form teams meet when England welcome Argentina to Twickenham. The hosts produced one of their best performances last week when they beat the All Blacks 33-19 while the visitors staged their greatest ever comebacks when they beat Scotland after trailing 21-0 at halftime. England have a number of key players from that victory unavailable for this match due to injury including MOTH Ollie Lawrence. The Pumas have again decided to leave their star players Santiago Carreras and Pablo Matera on the bench to come and close out the match in the second period.
England will look to impose their structured, territory-driven style, backed by a powerful pack featuring the likes of Maro Itoje and Ellis Genge in the backline, George Ford is entrusted to control the game while the returning Elliot Daly’s counter-attacking threat gives England the ability to unlock Argentina’s defence. The Pumas with their trademark aggression and tactical sharpness, led by inspirational Captain Julián Montoya at hooker. Argentina will aim to disrupt England at the breakdown, apply pressure through clever kicking and use their strong maul to generate momentum. This match will come down to the wire but I am backing the home team to steal the win.

Handicap Betting Tips for Today
Scotland vs Tonga: Away team (+42.5)
Reason for tip: Scotland will still be scratching their heads and wondering how they contrived to lose to Argentina last week after leading 21-0 at halftime. The manner of the defeat has seen louder calls for the head of Gregor Townsend. The Scottish boss has completely changed his team for the visit of Tonga with only Captain Sione Tuipulotu retaining his place from the dramatic loss. The visitors are playing their first match of the November internationals and are missing some of their key players who are injured. They will however be skippered by the giant prop Ben Tameifuna who will be putting the home side’s front row under immense pressure at scrum time.
Tonga will be no pushovers as they have plenty of skillful players in their team led by the powerful centre Solomone Kata who plies his trade in the PREM. The backline of the visitors have players with serious attacking abilities like William Havili and Taniela Filimone. Scotland must stamp their authority through their forwards which will lay the platform for their backs to attack from. It will be interesting to see how the new halfback pairing of Fergus Burke and Ben White go as it will be their first time playing together. The host will gain their redemption with a win but I am backing Tonga to cover the +42.5 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.
