Scotland vs Australia:Away team (+8.5 handicap)1.80 odds

Tip 1: Scotland to win by less than 9 points

Reason for the tip: Scotland will fancy their chances of beating Australia at Murrayfield, particularly with Finn Russell directing play and the dangerous combination of Sione Tuipulotu and Huw Jones in midfield. Darcy Graham and Kyle Steyn offer plenty of finishing ability out wide, while Jack Dempsey and Rory Darge give the home side a strong presence around the breakdown. Scotland have the attacking quality to trouble Australia, but they cannot afford to become careless in possession. Russell’s kicking and decision-making could prove decisive in what promises to be a closely contested encounter.

Australia have enough quality to make this a difficult afternoon for the Scots. Harry Wilson, Rob Valetini and Fraser McReight form a powerful back row, while Tom Wright and Max Jorgensen provide genuine attacking threats from deep. Carter Gordon will need to manage the game well against Russell, particularly when Scotland begin applying pressure. The Wallabies should enjoy periods of dominance, but Scotland’s settled midfield combination and home advantage could give them the edge. I expect a competitive match with both teams scoring tries, although Scotland look slightly better equipped to finish strongly and to scape a narrow win by under 9 points. 

Leicester Tigers vs Saracens: Away team (-5.5 handicap)1.90 odds

Saracens have named an interesting side featuring a mixture of experienced campaigners and emerging talent, with Nathan Michelow captaining the team from number eight. Charlie Bracken will be looking to dictate the tempo at scrum-half, while Max Malins provides valuable experience and attacking quality from fullback. The likes of Rotimi Segun and Tobias Elliott give Saracens plenty of pace out wide. Although this isn’t their strongest possible lineup, there is enough talent in the squad to cause Leicester problems, particularly if their forwards can establish a solid platform.

Leicester Tigers have also selected a relatively inexperienced side, with Joseph Woodward leading the team from midfield. Orlando Bailey brings some composure at fly-half, while Ollie Allan will have an important role in controlling possession and keeping the forwards moving. Leicester’s pack includes several promising youngsters, but Saracens appear to have a slight advantage in experience and attacking options. Much will depend on how quickly both teams settle into the contest. I expect Leicester to remain competitive, although Saracens should have enough quality to win this match by more than 5 points.

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.
