Anthem RC vs San Diego Legion Prediction: Crucial encounter for the two teams

In round two of Major League Rugby, Anthem RC will play San Diego Legion at American Legion Memorial Stadium. Diego Legion won the lone meeting between these teams. How will this game end? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions. 

Anthem RC

Anthem RC started their season on the negative end against NOLA Gold and will hope to do better here. In a game that ended 35-14, Anthem RC lost 28-0 in the first half and then 7-14 in the second half. However, Anthem RC's run of games in the new season saw them go winless in more than 20 matches. In those matches, this team lost each, playing New England Free Jacks, Miami Sharks, Old Glory DC, Utah Warriors, Houston SaberCats, and Los Angeles. While this team has struggled so much over the last months, I expect them to show resilience as they eye their first win in the Major League. 

San Diego Legion

San Diego Legion played Seattle Seawolves in round one of the Major League Rugby. In that encounter, this team pulled off a 40-26 win, thanks to their first half 28-0 brilliance. In the meantime, this team struggled in the second half, scoring only 12 goals while conceding 26. However, a look at San Diego Legion’s run of games prior to the new season saw them lose two games and win two. In the meantime, the last road matches saw San Diego Legion lose to Seattle Seawolves and Chicago Hounds. Heading into this game as huge favourites, I expect San Diego Legion to approach this game with their best strategy and win. 

Expert Betting Tips

San Diego Legion should be at their best again and I expect them to show character. While Anthem RC had a slow start, I still believe the home team will struggle in this week two. Also, looking at how their previous meetings have ended, I expect a high-scoring contest.
