Scotland vs USA Predictions - USA backed in handicap market against Scotland
Scotland and the USA are set to clash again, and despite Scotland's average form in 2025, they are favored to secure a victory over the USA. Scotland's past performance this year includes notable wins against Italy and Wales and narrow losses to top-tier teams. Conversely, the USA has struggled recently and is pushing for improvement ahead of the 2031 Rugby World Cup they will host. Even though Scotland is likely to win, the USA is backed to perform within a 43.5-point margin. Both teams are looking to adjust their lineups strategically for this key game.

Scotland vs USA Predictions
Scotland’s 2025 form has not been great, but they should still comfortably beat the USA. I do, however, feel like the USA can get within the 43.5 margin.

Scotland Form
Scotland has endured a reasonably average 2025, although had a couple of results gone their way, things may have been different. The fear for Scotland is that they have been pretty good since about 2018, but they don’t have the quality coming through with players ageing.
This year, Scotland beat Italy and Wales in the Six Nations, losing to Ireland, France and England. However, the Scots only just went down 16-15 to England at Twickenham. They lost by 14 points to Ireland and 19 points to France.
In July, Scotland, without their players who were picked for the British & Irish Lions tour, toured the pacific where they lost 29-14 to Fiji and beat Samoa 41-12.

Scotland are likely to go with a mixed bag this weekend. They should win regardless but getting some minutes into certain players ahead of big games this November will be crucial.
USA Form
USA are desperate to improve as a rugby nation with the 2031 Rugby World Cup set to be hosted in the US. However, their form over the last few years has not been great, failing to even qualify for the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
During the Pacific Nations Cup in August and September, USA lost 34-20 to Canada and 47-21 to Japan in the group stage. They did bounce back to defeat Samoa 29-13 in their last game which also secured passage to the 2027 Rugby World Cup.
However, the USA needs to start improving in terms of performance and results. They are trying to bring younger players into the fold but in the short term, they may hamper results.

USA will most likely pick their strongest available side for this Quilter Nations Series fixture.
Verdict
I am backing the USA to lose by less than 43.5 points.
USA +43.5
