Wales vs Scotland U20 Predictions


Wales came up short in their Six Nations U20 Championship match last weekend, but they have an excellent home record against Scotland. Scotland have struggled to win consistently on the road recently. 

  • Wales have lost 4 consecutive fixtures in all competitions. 
  • Wales have won 4 of their last 6 home games in all competitions.
  • Wales have 5 of their last 6 home matches against Scotland. 
  • Scotland have lost 4 of their last 6 away fixtures in all competitions.

Head to Head

Wales U20 Form 


Wales had no answer in the second half in their Six Nations U20 Championship match against France last weekend, losing 34-24 at home after leading 17-15 at half-time. 

Before that, Wales lost their opening fixture in this edition of the Six Nations tournament to England 19-16 away from home.

Wales are 5th in the standings with two points after two rounds. 

Wales have gone close in both their matches so far, and will see an opportunity to register their first win in the competition when they host Scotland this weekend. 

Scotland U20 Form 


Scotland failed to score any points in the second half in their Six Nations U20 Championship match against England last weekend, losing 33-17 at home after trailing 17-19 at half-time. 

Before that, Scotland defeated Italy 36-10 away from home in their opening fixture.
