The last match to be played this week of the Autumn Nations Series 2022 will be Scotland vs New Zealand. Many rugby fans may not have this pegged as the most exciting game of the weekend, but I hope we are still going to see a lively back-and-forth between two top-10 world teams. Most rugby betting punters, too, will be expecting this to be a gimme for the All Blacks, but let's see if that will be true.

📜 History of Scotland vs New Zealand
The history between the two teams is always a good indicator for a rugby prediction, so let's break down the results.
| Teams | Totals |
|---|---|
| Scotland Wins | 0 |
| New Zealand Wins | 29 |
| Draws | 2 |
New Zealand seem a force to be reckoned with for the Scots, but maybe the five most recent results can hint at a resurgence for Scottish rugby.
| Match | Date | Venue | Score | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scotland vs New Zealand | 8th November 2008 | Murrayfield, Edinburgh | 6–32 | New Zealand |
| Scotland vs New Zealand | 13th November 2010 | Murrayfield, Edinburgh | 3–49 | New Zealand |
| Scotland vs New Zealand | 11th November 2012 | Murrayfield, Edinburgh | 22–51 | New Zealand |
| Scotland vs New Zealand | 14th November 2014 | Murrayfield, Edinburgh | 16–24 | New Zealand |
| Scotland vs New Zealand | 18th November 2017 | Murrayfield, Edinburgh | 17–22 | New Zealand |
Well, if there were not a lot between Scotland vs New Zealand in the last few matches, we might be tempted to say this is going to be a close game. Given the smallest margin was five points, however, I think history point to an easy All Blacks win.

The Kiwis have moved back up to third over the course of the Autumn Nations Series 2022, with Scotland finding themselves in eighth. If I had to base my rugby prediction purely on these numbers, I would obviously go for New Zealand, but perhaps there is still more to the tale.
✔️ Scotland vs New Zealand: Recent Form of the Teams
One of the biggest predictors for me is the recent form of the teams - especially analysing the play from previous matches in a tournament. On that thought, I want to look into the last two matches for the two teams.
🦄 Matches Recap: Scotland Autumn Nations Series 2022 So Far
To start with, it wasn't good news for the Scots against Australia when they lost at Murrayfield, 15-16. It certainly wasn't the best of outings for the home side, and Australia were able to capitalise on this to rub their opponents' noses in the dirt. Scotland managed to bounce back the following week, despatching Fiji with a moderate final result of 28-12. With one win and one loss, however, there isn't a lot to shout about, and it doesn't set them up for a difficult clash against the All Blacks.
🥝 Matches Recap: New Zealand Autumn Nations Series 2022 So Far
The visitors have fared much better in the autumn internationals, starting well in their Japan vs New Zealand first test, 31-38, before getting into their stride against Wales, hammering the Men in Red by 32 points. Comparing the Kiwis to Scotland, two wins from two certainly makes them seem more up for Sunday's match, so on recent form, I would have to give it to New Zealand.
🌦️ Weather Conditions at Murrayfield, Edinburgh
Whilst I think you can take a lot from the weather for a rugby prediction, in this case, I think a forecast of 14 degrees with intermittent sunshine will benefit neither team that much. I think we have to stick with the other predictors for our winner.
🕵️ My Scotland vs New Zealand Prediction Winner
On history, on world rankings, and on recent form, I am struggling to see a Scottish win. I think there could be a chance for them, but it would have to come down to the All Blacks playing in a white strip with a red rose on the shirt. Joking apart, I can't see this being anything but a New Zealand win all day long.
💶 Scotland vs New Zealand Betting Tips
I'm going to say that I think the bookies' odds of New Zealand to win at New Zealand to Win @ 1.09 are pretty fair, but that they don't exactly offer a rugby bettor anything of consideration, given the risk. What piques my interest, however, are the handicap options available. Given that the All Blacks smashed a similar-strength Wales by 32 points last week, and that I think they will storm this game by around 25 points, odds of New Zealand to win (-17.5 points) at 2.15 could be one to think about. If you fancy that this may be a much closer game, though, but that you still want to lengthen your odds, you could also muse over combining a winning result in this match with the games for Saturday: Italy vs Samoa, Ireland vs South Africa, Wales vs New Zealand, and France vs South Africa.
