🏆 Six Nations 2023 Standings

🌏 Current Rugby World Rankings

🦄 Scotland Overview

It is a fact that throughout the years Scotland has produced many top rugby players such as Chris Paterson, Gaving Hastings, Doddie Weir, and Ian McGeechan. That is why it is reasonable to start our Scotland overview by pointing out the key figures in this team, especially since we believe that maybe its current crop of players is one of the best Scotland ever had.

✔️Scotland Recent Form

If you are a sports fan, then you know that one of the most important things for a team is its recent form. Speaking of which we will discuss Scotland’s performance during the last few months and in Six Nations 2022.

⬇️ Scotland Six Nations 2023 Form

It would be unfair not to note Scotland's stunning performance against England at Twickenham in the first round of the 2023 Six Nations, winning 23-29 to retain the Calcutta Cup for the third year in a row! The top player of this match turned out to be winger Doohan van der Merwe, who five English players could not overcome. He will certainly be a key figure during the meeting with the Welsh. Everything looks good so far. But another thought creeps into our minds. We have already seen Scotland make a powerful comeback against England and next week, perhaps proud of their victory, lose the battle to Wales.

In order to beat Gatland's team, the Scots must first have discipline, second, be very good at ground handling, and third, stop losing rucks. In last year's meeting, they lost Finn Russell and allowed 13 penalties. In order to repeat the performance, we witnessed against England and to break through the Welsh defence, it will be essential for the Scots to keep their playmaker on the pitch.

⬅️ Scotland Six Nations 2022 Form

Fourth place is definitely not something to brag about when it comes to the Six Nations Championship, because as you know only 6 teams participate in it. Finishing in 4th place means you can only beat two of them, which is less than half. It was a blow for Scotland not to win the game away to Wales last year. In view of Scotland's performance at the 2022 Six Nations, the bookies are not giving Scotland much hope of a win before kick-off. Will Scotland succeed this year given the home advantage? Will it show in good form? We cannot wait to find out.

🐉 Wales Overview

Although the Welsh side has only won 3 of their last 13 games, talent and experience are not lacking. In fact, the starting 15 who took the field during the last game have over 900 caps between them. Whether the talent and experience will be brought to the field in the match against Scotland depends entirely on Gatland. Now, it is time to look at Wales’s star players on whom to keep an eye on Saturday.

✔️ Wales Recent Form

At the Principality Stadium last Saturday, the Welsh came out hoping for a return to the good old days with Warren Gatland, who coached Wales during their golden period from 2008 to 2019. However, it seems an instant revival is not expected to happen after the pogrom that the Welsh suffered by Ireland, which proved to be a testament to how much the team had fallen in Gatland's absence.

⬇️ Wales Six Nations 2023 Form

After the sacking of Wayne Pivac, Warren Gatland has been appointed to the top job in the hope that the appointment will change Wales' game in 2023. Judging by the Welsh thrashing at the hands of the Irish last week, however, there are unlikely to be any welcome-back cheers for the New Zealander. In the first half of the game, it was as if Wales were not in the stadium at all. In the second, they rallied and dominated possession, but were still unable to find success in their attempts to break through the Irish defence. In the end, the 10-34 score that was written on the scoreboard speaks for itself. Will there really be changes to the Wales squad under the new (old) coach? Or do the Welsh rugby team's problems extend beyond the coaching staff? The question of when we will finally see a new face in the coaching position is beginning to float in space.

⬅️ Wales Six Nations 2022 Form

At the 2022 Six Nations, Wales finished a miserable fifth. Needless to say, this is not a good achievement at all. If Scotland can beat two teams judging by their fourth place, then Wales can clearly only beat one. The Welsh were unable to overcome even the Italians, and the ridiculous loss to Italy on home soil is likely to ring in their ears for a long time. The interesting thing here, however, is that the only team that did not stand against them was Scotland, although they finished one position ahead of them. This gives reason to some rugby experts to believe that we will see the same development this year. The tension at BT Murrayfield Stadium is likely to be on a knife edge and we cannot wait to see this clash worthy of an epic.

🕵️ Scotland vs Wales Prediction Winner

This game will be a nail-biter for both teams and will likely prove to be the closest game of Round 2. On the one hand, Scotland will want to break the trend of failing to get off to great starts during Six Nations matches. On the other hand, Wales will want to get back on track, especially after the shock loss to Ireland. For both teams, discipline will be the most important factor, and if either team fails to maintain it, there will be plenty of easy tries, yellow cards, and penalties. Between the two teams, Scotland seems more likely to keep their composure. So, the tipsy pundits at My Betting Site reckon Gatland's side will lose again, possibly by 5 points, and the Doddie Weir Cup will go to the Scots.

In the Quote 1 section, please include the following: Prediction for the Team1 vs Team2 winner? Team1 to win./Team2 to win./Both sides to draw..

💶 Scotland vs Wales Betting Tips

In the Match Winner market, we recommend betting on Scotland to win. The fact that Scotland's odds are roughly twice as low as Wale's tends to mean that, based on the implied probability, Scotland has a better chance of winning. Handicap betting is another market you might get involved in if you are knowledgeable about rugby. If you agree with our forecast that Scotland will prevail in this match, you can practice handicap wagering by giving Scotland a deficit.

⚡ Scotland vs Wales Prediction Summary

We know that on Saturday, the match of the Six Nations 2023 - Ireland vs France - will be played, which to a large extent will probably predict who will grab the championship title. However, the game between Scotland and Wales will be no less interesting and no rugby fan will allow themselves to miss it. Both teams have a lot to prove on the field considering that the last year has not been particularly successful for either of them. Proof of this is that in the Six Nations 2022, they occupied fourth and fifth place. A ranking that in no way can be called an achievement for a competition like the Six Nations, in which, as the name suggests, only six teams participate. Which team will be able to maintain good discipline on the field? And will there be a repeat of Wales' victory over Scotland last year? We are about to find out. However, the national experts believe that this year the scales for the chance of victory are tipped in favor of Scotland.
