Wales v Scotland Six Nations Betting Tips & Predictions (31.10.2020)
- Written by David Bet
The final weekend of the Six Nations, almost nine months after it kicks off, sees Wales welcome Scotland to Parc y Scarlets in a game which means very little in terms of the Six Nations trophy, although of course the Doddie Weir Cup is up for grabs.
Scotland have a glimmer of hope in the Six Nations race, but it would be a minor miracle if they were to leapfrog Ireland, England and France to claim it.
Below you’ll find our top picks for the weekend’s fixture as the Six Nations comes to a close.
The game will be played behind closed doors with the game to be shown live on BBC One.

Scotland are priced at 2/1 after beating France 28-17 last weekend, with the draw at 20/1.
Wales have had the better of Scotland over history, with 73 wins to 49, winning 46 of the 62 games played in Wales.
It’s a tie that has been dominated by Wales in recent years too. Scotland have won just one of the last 13 meetings between the two, a record that stretches back to 2008. What’s more, Scotland haven’t won in Wales since 2002 when they came away 27-22 winners at the Millennium Stadium.
An 8-14 point winning margin would be our top bet for this game at 14/5, with Wales perhaps a little unfortunate to get something against England last weekend.
A -11.5 handicap at 2/1 may also be appealing for the Welsh, while the -5.5 handicap makes for a safer bet at 20/23.
Either way, we expect a comfortable day for the Welsh in Llanelli in a game that won’t have any influence on the Six Nations Championship winner later in the afternoon.
