1X2 Tips For Rugby Fixtures Today

Saracens vs Bath

Tip 1: Bath to win 

Reason for the tip: Saracens host Bath in an exciting PREM clash with both sides naming powerful, near full-strength line-ups that promise an affair. The home side field a star-studded backline featuring Elliot Daly’s at fullback and Max Malins’ on the wing and the midfield punch of Lucio Cinti and Nick Tompkins, all steered by Owen Farrell who stands in for the injured Fergus Burke. In the pack, the athleticism of Theo McFarland, the breakdown menace of Ben Earl and the ball-carrying of Tom Willis give Sarries a dynamic edge, while Marco Riccioni and Rhys Carre anchor a strong scrum.

Bath also arrive with equal firepower and the confidence of a side transformed under Finn Russell’s orchestration. Russell’s creativity linking with Henry Arundell’s pace and Joe Cokanasiga’s power makes their backline dangerous from anywhere on the field, while Chris Harris provides defensive organisation in midfield. The pack which is their strength has steel through Charlie Ewels, Quinn Roux and the abrasive back-row trio of Josh Bayliss, Miles Reid and Arthur Green. The match will come down to which side has the better pack therefore I am backing the visitors for the win.

High flying Pau will be severely tested when they welcome La Rochelle in a compelling Top 14 matchup that pits two team with contrasting styles. The home side enter the fixture with confidence after a strong start to their campaign, built on aggressive defence, breakdown accuracy and the ability to control territory with a smart kicking game. Their powerful back-row unit and rapidly improving set piece will be central to their hopes of matching La Rochelle’s renowned physicality up front. Pau will also look to unleash their backline in broken play, where their speed and support lines have troubled opponents throughout the season.

La Rochelle have not been great on the road although they have great European pedigree and boast a formidable pack capable of dominating collisions and suffocating teams through structured pressure. Their scrum and maul remain key weapons, and if they can establish a platform early, their backline has the potential to open Pau up out wide. The home side have proven very difficult to beat at their fortress therefore I am backing them to win and cover the -7.5 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.
