The two winless teams in Group B battle it out for a place in the quarter finals this weekend, when Samoa take on Scotland. Both teams will know that a win takes them through, although that will mean they qualify third in the group, setting up a probably quarter final clash against Australia. Samoa came close to picking up a victory against Tonga last weekend, but so far for Scotland it has been very hard work and they have struggled to make their mark on the tournament. Let's check our rugby bet of the day.

Samoa vs Scotland Preview

We have seen promise from Samoa in both of their games so far, so there is a lot for them to be pleased about. They kept the formidable New Zealand to 38 points in their opener, before going close against Tonga, eventually losing 32-18. A repeat of either of those performances would be enough for them to beat Scotland comfortably.

Although no one really expected Scotland to do anything at the World Cup, they have been comprehensively beaten in each of their two games so far, and have managed just a combined total of ten points. This represents their easiest task, but this is still going to be a very tough game for them, and they look like a beaten team already, I don’t hold much hope for them.

Samoa vs Scotland Prediction

From what we have seen so far of these two, there is only going to be one winner of the game and that is Samoa. For whatever reason, Scotland have really failed to do anything in this tournament, they came in as outsiders and have performed worse than people expected them to. Samoa head into the game in a much better frame of mind, they have something to build on from their previous two performances, despite losing, and overall look to have enough to be able to cruise into the quarter finals.

With the Scotland heads already looking like they are down, it wouldn’t surprise me to see them roll over and allow Samoa a comfortable victory in this game. Let's check our rugby odds for today.

Samoa vs Scotland Betting Tips

The handicap line on this game is where to focus and the best handicap is with Coral, who have a line of 34 for the game. They have priced Samoa up at evens with a -34 point deficit and unless Scotland change their approach, Samoa should comfortably beat that and cruise to victory in this one. Samoa boasts a great team compared to Scotland and picking one of the handicap lines is one of the safest ways to win this one.

While we think Samoa will win the game comfortably, we also think they can limit Scotland to few scoring opportunities, so the total points market also interests us. We expect to see Samoa score around 40 points, and they can limit Scotland to single figures if they defend like they did in their first two games. That makes the points line with Ladbrokes interesting, they are offering a good price on under 53.5 points in the game, which looks to be a solid bet.
