Glasgow Warriors vs Connacht Prediction: Warriors will not lose at home

At Scotstoun Stadium, Glasgow Warriors will play Connacht in round 11 of the United Rugby Championship. The home team is the favorite here, while the road team is the underdog. Below, I will give a full match preview with betting opportunities. 

Glasgow Warriors

Glasgow Warriors are coming off a European Rugby Championship Cup encounter against Harlequins, which ended in a 24-7 defeat. In the meantime, that defeat was the home side's third recently, having lost to Edinburgh and RC Toulonnais in a prior league game. In the meantime, their encounters against Racing Metro 92, Edinburgh ended in 29-19 and 33-14 wins. Heading into this game, Glasgow Warriors have 33 points in nine league games this season, leaving them ten points adrift of first-placed Leinster.

Connacht

Connacht took on Cardiff Rugby the previous time out in the Europe Challenge Cup and won. In a game that ended 19-28, Connacht took a 7-14 lead at halftime, and a 12-14 second-half win was enough to see this team take maximum points. However, that win was Connacht’s third in recent matches, having defeated USA Perpignan and Lyon in prior games. Heading into this game, Connacht have failed to win any of their last two league games, as they lost to Leinster and Ulster. With 18 points, the visitors sit 14th in the standings. 

Expert Betting Tips

I expect more improved play from Glasgow Warriors after a struggling play against Harlequins. However, Connacht stepped up their game following struggling outcomes in the league. This should be a game for the home team, considering their determination in the league. Take Glasgow Warriors to win this game with a number of margins. Yet, with a lot of attacking play expected from Connacht, a bet on points is a good option.

The first option is a handicap W1(-4.5) with odds at 1.76 on 1Xbet

The second option is first half betting result (W1) with odds at 1.66 on Bet365

The last option is over 44.5 points with odds at 1.76 on Betway
