Munster vs Edinburgh Predictions


Munster started the season with two wins, although they struggled past Cardiff last weekend. I am backing Edinburgh, who beat Munster last season, to get within 9.5 points.

  • Munster have won their last 2 matches.
  • Edinburgh lost their last match to Zebre.

Head to Head


Edinburgh defeated Munster 34-28 away from home when they met in February this year.

Munster Form


Munster are not known for their strong starts to the URC, but they have flown out of the blocks this season. After the first two rounds, Munster have two wins, one with a bonus point.

In round one, Munster traveled to Wales to face Scarlets, a match they won 34-21. It was a contest throughout, but Munster always looked to have more gears than the hosts.

Last weekend, Munster won but were quite poor at home, winning 23-20 against Cardiff.

Munster Team News


Munster are nowhere near full strength just yet with a few internationals still being rested. With more international games coming up in a month or so, Munster may wait a while to play their best available side.

Edinburgh Form


Edinburgh have only played one game this season, losing 31-28 in Italy to Zebre. Last week’s match was called off as their opponents, Ulster, struggled with flights.

This promises to be a very tough game after that loss in round one. While Edinburgh picked up two bonus points from the game, it remains a game the Scots would have felt they should be winning comfortably.

Edinburgh Team News


Edinburgh's game last week was called off so they should be fresh and raring to go. I expect the same side that was announced last week to feature.

Verdict

Edinburgh are backed to get within 9.5 points off Munster.
