Scotland is poised to bounce back from a series of losses with an upcoming match against Tonga. Having led the head-to-head record 5-1, including victory in the last two encounters, Scotland is anticipated to cover the -41.5 handicap. Recently, the team faced disappointing results despite promising starts, most notably against Argentina and New Zealand. This weekend, changes are expected as coach Gregor Townsend aims to integrate fresh talent. Meanwhile, Tonga comes off mixed results in the Pacific Nations Cup, preparing for a tough contest.

Scotland vs Tonga Predictions


Scotland need a win and are very likely to get it against Tonga. However, the performance is what matters, but they did score 85 points against the USA a few weeks back. My best bet is for Scotland to cover -41.5.

  • Scotland have lost their last 2 matches.
  • Tonga have lost 2 of their last 3 matches.

Head to Head


Scotland lead 5-1 in their six matches against Tonga. The only Tonga win came in 2012 but in the last two matches the Scots have won by 25+ points.

Scotland Form


Scotland will be eager to close off this international window with a victory after losing their last two games.

After an 85-0 win over the USA, Scotland produced a stunning comeback against New Zealand, only for them to lose it in the final 10 minutes of the game.

Last weekend, it was Scotland who began brilliantly against Argentina, racing into a 21-0 lead. However, the Argentines were magnificent in the second half, scoring five tries to win 33-24 at Murrayfield.

Scotland Injuries & Team News


Gregor Townsend has come under scrutiny this week after two successive losses. Many are doubting his ability to take Scotland to the next level. We expect the coach to make some big changes this weekend to get some of the next generation players some game time.

Tonga Form


Tonga have not played since the Pacific Nations Cup where they confirmed their place at the 2027 Rugby World Cup.

Tonga beat Samoa before losing to Fiji. In the semi-final, Tonga suffered a 62-24 loss to Japan but defeated Canada 35-24 in the third-place playoff.

Tonga Injuries & Team News


Tonga will be up for the physical battle on Sunday but whether they can match the skill required is another story. Expect Tonga to put out their strongest side.

Verdict

Scotland set to cover 41.5 handicap at home.
