Scotland vs Ireland prediction: Champs to extend record at Murrayfield

Scotland vs Ireland betting tips

Both Scotland and Ireland secured important wins in their Six Nations openers last weekend. The Scots brushed Italy aside after a brutally fast start, winning 31-29, while Ireland fought hard to overcome a half-time deficit to beat England 27-22.

The Scots are seen as outsiders for the Six Nations title at 12/1 on betting sites, but a victory over an Ireland team seeking a third successive title in this competition would likely see those odds tumble.
