Scotland vs Wales Preview

Wales were improved in their last outing against Ireland but facing Scotland at Murrayfield will be a stern test. The hosts will want to end the campaing in the next two weeks on a high, so I fancy them to cover -16.6

Scotland have won their last 2 matches against Wales.
Scotland have lost their last 2 matches.
Wales have lost their last 15 matches.

Head to Head

Scotland have won their last two matches against Wales. Their last meeting, during the 2024 Six Nations, Scotland won 27-26 away.

Scotland Form

Scotland are once again out of contention for the Six Nations crown after another false dawn. The Scots won their opening game against Italy but have lost two since.

In round two, Scotland were thoroughly outplayed at home against Ireland, losing the game 32-18. The Scots will be kicking themselves for their 16-15 defeat to England a fortnight ago, a game the Scots should have won at Twickenham.

Scotland Injuries & Team News

Scotland have a few injury concerns over a few players ahead of this fixture. I do expect a few changes to the side that lost to England.

Wales Form

Wales atrocious form just continues. They are bottom of the pile in the Six Nations and are struggling to find a win. The last time Wales won a game was at the 2023 Rugby World Cup in the group stage.

Since then, Wales have lost 15 consecutive games, including the three games this year. Wales suffered a 43-0 loss in France in round one before going down 22-15 to Italy in Rome.

Last round, the Welsh were at home for the first time this season and took Ireland all the way to the end, losing 27-18 at home. It was a very impressive performance after Warren Gatland left his role as head coach.

Wales Injuries & Team News

Wales put in a strong performance against Ireland in their last game. Unless forced, I cannot see any changes.

Verdict

Scotland v Wales

Scotland are backed to win by more than 16.5 points.

Scotland -16.5
