Connacht vs Bulls Predictions - Bulls backed for narrow win in Galway
The upcoming rugby clash between Connacht and Bulls is analyzed with a focus on betting predictions. Connacht boasts a strong home presence, but their overall form is mixed, having lost recently to Cardiff despite a solid start against Benetton. On the other hand, the Bulls have had fluctuating performances with notable recent losses including a poor display against Ulster. Significant team changes, including the absence of Handre Pollard, suggest a strategic shift. Despite Connacht's resilience at home, betting odds favor Bulls to cover a -1.5 handicap.

Connacht vs Bulls Predictions
The Bulls performances this season, particularly last week, hardly gives me confidence, but they have made wholesale changes to the side. Connacht are a tough nut to crack at home, but I’m backing the Bulls to cover -1.5.

Head to Head
The Bulls have won three of their four matches against Connacht. Last season, the Bulls won 28-14 away from home.
Connacht Form
Connacht only have two games under the belt as their round two fixture was called off due to a big storm and teams were unable to travel.
In round one, Connacht won 26-15 at home against Benetton. The performance was good by the hosts on the night, and they never really looked in trouble of losing.
Last weekend, Connacht came up short, losing 14-8 to Cardiff away from home. It was a very tense game throughout but on the balance of play, Cardiff deserved the victory.
Connacht Injuries & Team News
Expect some changes from Connacht ahead of this fixture. Their side has not yet been announced.
Bulls Form
The Bulls come into this fixture under a bit of pressure after winning their opening two games and losing the third. However, that pressure isn’t specifically for results but rather performance.
In round one, the Bulls beat Ospreys 53-40 at home after being down at the break. Conceding 40 at home will be a huge concern for the new coaching team. That was followed by a scrappy 39-31 win over a weakened Leinster side in round two.
At the weekend, in their first away game, the Bulls were very poor, losing 28-7 to Ulster. The second half performance was atrocious despite having numerous internationals available for the game.
Bulls Injuries & Team News
The Bulls have rung the changes, making 11 in total. Handre Pollard is not in the squad, Willie le Roux starts at fullback, David Kriel takes over the captaincy and partners Jan Serfontein in midfield. Canan Moodie shifts to wing.
Verdict
Bulls are backed to cover the -1.5 handicap against Connacht.
