Ospreys vs Dragons Predictions

Ospreys are certainly the favourites in this game, and I fancy them winning comfortably. A bonus point win can still put them in a top eight hunt, so my best bet is for the hosts to cover -13.5.

Ospreys have lost 3 of their last 4 matches.
Ospreys lost their last home match.
Dragons have lost 14 of their last 15 URC matches.

Head to Head

Last season both teams won their home game against each other. Dragons won 20-5 at home and Ospreys 26-13. They met in the opening game of this season again with the Dragons winning 23-21 at home.

Ospreys Form

Ospreys have been solid this season with six wins a draw and eight losses. They are 13th on the table with 33 points and while a top eight finish isn’t beyond reach, it does seem a bit of a stretch for them to make it.

The last two games have both ended in defeat for the Ospreys. They went down 20-18 at home to Lyon in the Challenge Cup quarter-final before losing 36-19 to Cardiff at home last weekend.

Other than that defeat, the Ospreys have, however, been pretty good at home this season.

Ospreys will be hunting for that bonus point win to keep their season alive. They will certainly be at full strength, although there are a few fitness concerns ahead of the game.

Dragons Form

The Dragons have yet again endured a torrid season in the URC. They are bottom of the table with just nine points having managed just one win in their 15 games to date.

That one victory in the URC came against the Ospreys in round one of this seasons URC. That 23-21 victory remains the only success for the hosts.

Last weekend the Dragons lost 31-23 at home to the Scarlets. The week prior they went down 38-5 in Edinburgh.

The Dragons are likely to make loads of changes as they try to give young players some time in the jersey. Their season is just about over, so they’ll use the last three games to learn for next season.

Verdict

Ospreys v Dragons

Ospreys are backed to cover the -13.5 handicap against a Dragons side which has lost 14 of their 15 URC games this season.
