Benetton vs Scarlets Predictions - Benetton to make home advantage count
In the upcoming match against Scarlets, Benetton is heavily favored to secure a victory, especially considering their recent form. The Italian team hopes to capitalize on their home advantage to cover the -11.5 point handicap. Despite being 10th in the URC table, Benetton's recent impressive wins and solid home performance suggest a promising outcome. On the other hand, Scarlets are struggling, ranking second to last with just three wins. With both teams affected by absences due to the Six Nations, Benetton has the upper hand.

Head to Head
These two last met on September 21 in 2024, a match that ended 20-all in Italy.
Benetton Form
Benetton are currently 10th on the URC table with four wins and six defeats. They are still within reach of a top eight finish but will need to get some results in the latter half of the season, particularly at home.
The Italian outfit has a decent home record although their consistency has come into question this season. However, in the European Challenge Cup in mid-January, Benetton thrashed the Dragons at home and beat Lyon away.
Upon their return to URC action last weekend, Benetton went down 17-8 away to Cardiff. The result will not disappoint them, however, not managing to pick up a losing bonus point could prove costly later on.
Scarlets Form
Scarlets are in the midst of another poor season and are currently second from bottom on 13 points, just one point clear of Zebre.
The Welsh side have won just three times in nine games this season and have a -66 points difference. However, that said, they did get a confidence boosting victory last weekend at home when they defeated Ulster 27-22.
Prior to that, Scarlets had lost four in a row, including two Challenge Cup games against Northampton and Pau.
Benetton vs Scarlets Team News
With the Six Nations starting next weekend, both sides are missing key players as they are being rested.
Verdict
Benetton are tipped to cover the -11.5 handicap on home soil.
