1X2 Tips For Rugby Fixtures Today

Colomiers vs Provence

Tip 1: Colomiers to win 

Reason for the tip: Colomiers are strong favourites heading into their Pro D2 clash against Provence Rugby although they did not lose their last home match against league leaders Vannes. Colomiers currently sit second on the table with 26 points from eight matches compared to Provence’s 20 which shows why they are favorites for this clash. Playing at home has traditionally been a major boost for Colomiers and with the odds heavily in their favour, they will look to maintain their winning momentum. A bonus point victory for the home side will see them go top of the table if Vannes fail to win. 

Provence, on the other hand, have struggled for consistency, especially away from home where they have managed to win just once all season. They have plenty of capable players and can be dangerous in open play but it is their poor defence that has been costing them on the road. Recent meetings between the sides have been closely contested but Colomiers appear better equipped to edge this encounter. I am backing the home side to come away with the victory due to their stronger bench.

Handicap Betting Tips for Today

Valence vs Aurillac: Home team(-20.5)

Reason for tip: Fourth placed Valence takes on Aurilla in this French Pro D2 encounter. The home team will be full of confidence at their fortress where they have won their four previous matches. The visitors on the other hand are still searching for their first away win of the season. Valence’s ability to exploit home advantage will be important as they have won their home matches by an average winning margin of 26 points. From their head-to-head meetings, Valence Romans also enjoy a major advantage having secured convincing wins over Aurillac in recent times.

Expect a game where the home side push to assert control early, looking to leverage their home momentum while Aurillac will aim to stay competitive through physicality and opportunism. The key battle will lie in whether Aurillac can disrupt the flow of Valence Romans and force mistakes. If Valence Romans manage to keep discipline high and exploit their scoring chances, they should come out on top. I am backing them to cover the -20.5 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.
