To date, Ireland and Fiji have played four official tests against each other:

There have also been four other unofficial matches played between the two sides, whereby Ireland doubled their glory and stand at 8-0 for wins. If the indicator of history tells us anything, on this information alone, I can only see Ireland grinning at the 80-minute scoreboard.

🌏 Comparison of World Rankings Rugby Union

Who is going to win out of the current best team in the world or the one in 11th? I don't even think I need to tell you how World Rugby sees this one going, but for absolute clarity, this match seems to be going green.

✔️ Ireland vs Fiji: Recent Form of the Teams

Now that all of the teams taking part in the Autumn Nations Series have had a chance to get their boots on the rugby pitch, I will be able to elucidate my thoughts on how they have played till now. Without further ado, let's look at how the Ireland vs Fiji result will look, based on performances so far.

☘️ Matches Recap: Ireland Autumn Nations Series 2022 So Far

Ireland are a no-nonsense, big, physical team who prefer to break down a defensive line by taking the ball into contact. The Irish are one of few teams who are able to ruck, ruck, ruck and keep recycling good ball till the opposition buckles under the pressure. To give context to that idea, Ireland average over 100 rucks per game at around three seconds per break-down. That means they hit hard and they hit fast, leaving opponents like deer in headlights and prone to making mistakes.

The current world champions discovered just how much pressure that can be in last week's Ireland vs South Africa test. As I predicted, it was a closely fought game for all 80 minutes, but even the Springboks crumbled 19-16 in the end, proving that Ireland's strength of play makes them deserving their top spot in the rugby world rankings. Based on some exceptional rugby from their last game, I think Fiji could be in for a thumping.

🌴 Matches Recap: Fiji Autumn Nations Series 2022 So Far

Before we write off Fiji without due diligence, we have to acknowledge that they have come on leaps and bounds over the year. They have taken their fast-paced, free-flowing style from rugby sevens and translated it to the XVs format. Playing perhaps more from heart than from a structured training schedule, the Fijians can be unpredictable and turn any game into a high-tempo spectacle.

If we look at how this style worked out in their last game, Scotland vs Fiji, however, it seems that the Flying Fijians were not able to take off, ending in a 28-12 defeat at Murrayfield. Things don't look hopeful going into this game, then, and this could be another sign that Fiji may fall short by the final whistle.

🌦️ Weather Conditions at the Aviva Stadium, Dublin

The long-range weather forecast says that it will be cloudy, raining, and 11-15 degrees at the Aviva Stadium, which may cause the pitch to become a bog. With Ireland being more suited to such weather conditions, I can't see Fiji managing anything but a repeat performance from their last game. I think the weather will be the last nail in the coffin for the Fijian game.

🕵️ My Ireland vs Fiji Prediction Winner

Despite the last match ending as a remarkably close affair, 23-20 at the death, I am sorry to say that I think all of the aforementioned factors will mean that Fiji will have no hope for this one. Yes, this is sport and things can change, but test history between the two sides, world rankings, styles of play, and the weather should all culminate in a win for Ireland by at least 20 points.

💶 Ireland vs Fiji Betting Tips

Ireland to win at extremely low odds of 1.01 do not seem to me worth a punt, even with how likely Ireland are to win. I would suggest, for those that prefer to have longer odds, considering handicap betting. As I only see Ireland winning by around 20 points, however, it may be worth considering putting your money on Fiji (+31.5 points) to win at odds of 1.50.
