Benetton vs Leinster Prediction: Leinster confident of keeping their run intact

Stadio Comunale Monigo will be the venue for the round 3 United Rugby Championship encounter between Benetton and Leinster. Heading into this game, the visiting Leinster are clear favorites, while Benetton are heavy underdogs. Let’s preview this game and make predictions. 

Benetton

Benetton played Glasgow Warriors last weekend and ended up on the losing end. Benetton started with a poor performance in that encounter, losing 14-7 at halftime. However, their second-half performance was nothing to write home about, losing 28-3, with the match ending 42-10. However, having opened their season with a 20-20 draw with Scarlets, the home team sit 14th in the standings with two points. 

Leinster

Leinster's last league encounter was against Dragons, and this team made it consecutive league wins. Leinster secured a 34-6 win in that game, pulling off a 10-6 win at halftime before a 24-0 top performance in the second half. In the meantime, Leinster also started their season with a 31-33 victory in their opener and now have four wins in their last five overall. Heading into this week's three encounters, Leinster is seated at the standings with ten points, the same as second-placed Cardiff Rugby.

Expert Betting Tips

Leinster have been good this season, and last weekend, they had one of their best results. Benetton struggled so much while on the road last weekend against Glasgow Warriors, extending their winless run. Looking at what the two teams have given and how they play in recent times, I am backing Leinster to win with a good margin, a game that should end in a dominant win.
