Edinburgh vs Glasgow
It is Part 2 of the 1872 Cup when Edinburgh take on Glasgow at Murrayfield in this URC fixture. Edinburgh, the home team on the day will need to win this match by more than 12 points to claim back the Cup they last won in 2018. The late show by Glasgow in the first leg where they scored 14 points in the last 14 minutes could prove vital in their quest to retain the Cup. A win for the visitors will see them return to the top of the table on, leapfrogging Leinster. Edinburgh could move as high as third if they manage to secure a bonus point victory and other results go their way.
TIP: Glasgow will not make too many changes for this match as they won’t want to change a winning combination while Edinburgh could look to rotate a few players especially in the midfield. The home side must look to get the ball into the hands of their flying wingers more often as Duhan van der Merwe looked dangerous every time he touched the ball. The bookies have Edinburg as favorites and I’m also tipping them for the win. The best odds on this bet are as follows: Betway 1.65 Gbets 1.65 and Hollywoodbets 1.60

PREDICTION
If there is dry weather, we could be treated to a try scoring feast as both teams love running the ball. The Edinburgh scrum seemed to have the edge in the last match but failed to capitalize on the platform laid by the front row. They will want to turn their possession into points as this was the main reason, they only managed to score 10 points in the defeat. Glasgow will once again turn to their maul which has been devastating all season. It has been their main source of points but if Edinburgh can find a way to defend it, they will win this match. I am predicting an Edinburgh win by more than 10 points.

I’m an experienced punter and sports writer whose predictions/tips are sure to stir up the emotions. I love the occasional wager on the underdog.
