1X2 Tips For Rugby Fixtures Today
Beziers vs Colomiers
Tip 1: Colomiers to win
Reason for the tip: Béziers Hérault will host US Colomiers Rugby at the Stade Raoul-Barrière on Friday in what promises to be another tense Pro D2 showdown. The home side are currently in 12th position with 15 points while the visitors are flying high in second position with 27 points. Béziers have established themselves as one of the toughest sides to beat at home, often feeding off the energy of their passionate supporters to produce gritty performances. Their defensive structure has been solid this season especially in front of their own fans and they’ll be eager to continue that trend after losing all four of their matches on the road.
Colomiers travel to Béziers with confidence after a convincing win over Aurillac earlier in the campaign and will look to build on that momentum. The visitors have shown plenty of attacking flair but have struggled with defensive consistency away from home which could prove costly against a disciplined Béziers outfit. Previous meetings between these two sides have been unpredictable and entertaining, including a 44–40 thriller last season so fans can expect another high-scoring contest. While Colomiers have the ability to cause an upset, Béziers’ home advantage and defensive stability may give them the edge. I am backing the visitors to come away with a close win.
Rugby Handicap Betting
Handicap Betting Tips for Today
Agen vs US Dax: Home team(-17.5)
Reason for tip: Agen and US Dax are set to clash at the Stade Armandie in a crucial Pro D2 encounter that could have big implications for both teams’ positions on the table. Agen have been impressive at home this season as they have won all four games at their fortress while showing a strong blend of attacking intent and solid defence. They will look to make the most of their home advantage once again. With a backline full of pace and creativity, Agen have often turned tight matches in their favour with moments of brilliance. Dax on the other hand, have enjoyed a competitive return to the Pro D2 but their away form remains inconsistent.
They’ll need to tighten up defensively and take their scoring chances if they hope to upset an in-form Agen team. Previous meetings between these sides have often been physical battles with both packs eager to dominate early and set the tone. Expect a match filled with strong forward play and tactical kicking as both sides look to gain territorial control. While Dax are capable of pushing Agen all the way, the hosts’ experience and composure at home should see them easily win this contest. I am backing Agen to cover the -17.5 handicap in their victory.

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.
