🔍 Ireland v Wales Winner Prediction

Ireland are on a rampage at the moment, showing the rest of Europe why they will win the Six Nations. What do Wales have in the locker to stop them?

History

134 matches are marked in the history books so far: 57 matches have been won by Ireland; 70 have been won by Wales. There have also been seven drawn fixtures. The long-term makes it look like a victory for the Men in Red is imminent, but if we look more recently, Ireland have won six out of seven of their last games against Ireland, including handing out a 10-34 spanking. For that reason, Ireland seem the surer of the two sides to do the business.

Last Performances

Two solid wins for Ireland, including a fantastic opener against France, show the Irish mean business. Wales have only managed a good half per game and eventually thrown away any advantage at the death. The Irish have another tick in the box for a likely win from them.

World Rankings

What does the world rankings have to say about the current position of both teams? With Ireland in second and Wales in eighth, the rankings seem to be shouting about an easy Irish win.

Home Advantage

The Men in Green will ignite a fire at the Aviva stadium. When Stevie Mulrooney sang Ireland's Call last week, there were very few dry eyes in the arena, and I expect to see even more atmosphere this time around as belief in another Grand Slam year swells. The home advantage will really help the Irish.

Weather

The weather forecast is 7°C, with cloud and sun. This is not unusual weather for the Welsh, so this may not provide the Irish any advantage.

Game Play Styles

Ireland have been to baffle opposition by ensuring they are able to play both 1-3-3-1 and 2-4-2 formations. Combining that with hard running and some of the quickest work at the break-down of any national side, the Irish are managing to give any team a run for their money.

Wales do have their set systems, but the only consistency Wales have shown in terms of game play styles is that they are only able to play one half of a match at the moment. For that reason, the Irish seem a league ahead going into this clash.

Winner Summary

All the above predictors point to an Irish win. I agree. The top of the table team are going to hand out a pasting to the team in fifth in the competition, and I think they are going to do that by at least 22 points - especially when the Welsh seem only able to manage one half a game before running out of steam.

✔️ Ireland v Wales Betting Tips

1️⃣ Match Winner: Ireland to Win

The bookies have their clear winner, and we appear to be singing from the same hymn sheet. The best odds seem to be Ireland to win at 1.15 at Betway, but I am not sure I would bother having a go on those odds unless I considered combining them into an accumulator with the other matches from this weekend.

2️⃣ Handicap Winner: Ireland to Win (-18.5)

I have a strong feeling that the Irish are going to go on to win by 22 points, but to give myself a little leeway, I would think most about Ireland to win (-18.5) at 1.55 at LegendPlay Sports. I think it offers odds with nice potential winnings, albeit with more risk - always remember to gamble responsibly!
