Match Prediction 5 of 15 in our 2026 Six Nations betting series.
Prediction accuracy so far: ⏪⏪ 88.89%.
England and Scotland will meet for the 144th time at Murrayfield on February 14th, with the Three Lions having launched their 2026 Six Nations campaign with a 41-point thrashing of Wales. Conversely, the Scots slumped to a narrow defeat against Italy at the Stadio Olimpico, amid a torrential and relentless downpour in Rome.
However, Scotland have won four of their last five matches against the Auld Enemy, all in the Six Nations. Below, we preview the upcoming match, offer our Scotland v England prediction, and analyse the latest odds.
🏆 Scotland vs England Prediction
England snapped a four-match losing streak against Scotland in the 2025 Six Nations, as a superior kicking game and the accuracy of Marcus Smith helped the Three Lions to a narrow 16–15 win. However, this was their first triumph over the Scots since February 2020, which was also the last time England won at Murrayfield.
The bad news for Scotland is that their form has been patchy since the start of the 2025 Six Nations. During this period, Gregor Townsend’s men have won just six of their 13 matches, with the defeat at Twickenham accounting for one of seven losses overall.
The side also looked toothless against Gli Azzurri last weekend, after full-back Blair Kinghorn and the lethal Duhan van der Merwe were dropped from the starting line-up. The latter’s intended replacement, Jamie Dobie, also suffered a knee injury before the game, and it remains unclear whether any of these players will return for England’s visit.
As for the Three Lions, their 48–7 demolition of Wales extended their current winning run to 12 matches. Their youthful wing pairing of Henry Arundell and Tommy Freeman starred against the Dragons, with Arundell scoring a hat-trick to take his international tally to 11 tries in just 13 caps.
The imperious George Ford ran the show from fly-half, with England’s kicking game suffocating Wales and allowing them to dominate territory. Scotland struggled against Italy’s similarly efficient kicking and controlled phases, so our Scotland vs England rugby prediction is that the away side will secure their second win of the campaign.
Our Prediction: 🏆 ENGLAND TO WIN 🏆
💯 Scotland vs England Betting Odds
England are clear favourites to defeat Scotland in this Six Nations clash, with Lunubet pricing this outcome at 1.31. These odds imply a 76.3% probability of a Three Lions victory, which may appear slightly low given the two sides’ contrasting recent form.
However, the Scots have had the better of the recent head-to-head, including three wins from the last four meetings at Murrayfield. As a result, Lunubet has priced a Scotland win at 3.50, suggesting a 28.6% implied probability. Below is an overview of the latest Scotland v England odds.
💶 Scotland vs England Six Nations Betting Tips
The Scotland v England rugby betting odds offer limited value when backing the Three Lions outright. With that in mind, we’ve prepared some expert Scotland v England betting tips to help you explore alternative markets:
Tip 1: Back England with a -6.5 Point Handicap
Recent Scotland vs England encounters have been extremely tight, with the last six fixtures decided by an average margin of 5.33 points. England have won just twice in this sequence, with their largest victory being a seven-point success at Murrayfield in February 2020.
However, England’s current form is imperious, and Steve Borthwick’s side looks well-balanced and stacked with talent. They dazzled in attack against Wales while also dominating the set-piece, with Ben Curry leading the way for carries and metres gained from number eight.
Scotland may struggle to handle England’s superior physicality and tactical kicking, particularly with their attack blunted by the absence of van der Merwe and Dobie. As such, there could be value in backing England with a modest -6.5 point handicap at odds of 1.71 with Lunubet.
Tip 2: England to Win the Race to 10 Points
England are playing with confidence and precision, using their kicking game to establish early territorial control. This was evident against Wales, when an early George Ford penalty and a converted Henry Arundell try put them 10–0 ahead inside eight minutes.
Scotland struggled to cope with Italy’s tactical approach in Rome, with inaccurate box-kicking allowing Gli Azzurri to race into a 12–0 lead. We expect England to start strongly again, making the race to 10 points market attractive at odds of 1.444 at 22Bet.
Tip 3: Back England to Win by Between 1 and 12 Points
During England’s 12-match winning run, they’ve averaged a victory margin of 19.91 points, rising to 24.0 points per game in the Six Nations.
However, this sequence includes a narrow one-point win over Scotland last February. Calcutta Cup clashes are typically close-fought affairs, and England haven’t won at Murrayfield by more than seven points since 2014. Therefore, backing England to win by 1–12 points at odds of 2.30 with 22Bet offers a balanced risk-reward option.
