In the upcoming United Rugby Championship game, Ospreys are seen as the favorites as they prepare to take on Dragons at home. Ospreys have been unbeaten in three of their last five home matches and recently drew 24-24 with Lions. Conversely, Dragons have faced challenges on the road, losing their last five away games, including a narrow 22-20 defeat at Munster. With Ospreys aiming to cover a -6.5 handicap, they remain a strong contender against a struggling Dragons side currently 13th in the standings.
