Scarlets vs Stormers Prediction: Stormers to keep their perfect record in this fixture

Parc y Scarlets will be the venue for round 13 of the United Rugby Championship encounter between Scarlets and Stormers. The last meeting between these teams ended in a win for Stormers. Can Scarlets pick their first win in this fixture? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions. 

Scarlets

Scarlets played Ulster in their last league game, and they lost. In a 30-28 contest, this team struggled in the second half despite winning 13-15 in the first half. In the meantime, Scarlets have faced defeat three times in their last five matches, two others against Munster and Gloucester. In other encounters, Scarlets picked up wins over Edinburgh and Vannes, ending 30-24 and 38-28. In recent home matches, Scarlets have won their last six matches, with their last defeat coming last October. 

Stormers

Stormers played Bulls in their last league game and secured a 16-19 win. In that encounter, Stormers started the first half with a 9-12 win and then settled for a 7-7 draw in the second half. However, prior encounters to that win saw this team lose to Racing Metro 92, Leinster, Bulls, and Lions. Away from home, Stormers have won only one of their last seven matches, as six others ended in defeats. With 28 points from 12 matches, Stormers sit in 12th spot with 272 goals scored and 293 conceded. 

Expert Betting Tips

Scarlets are at home, but I do not see them winning this game. Looking at their performances in this fixture, I do believe the home team’s try will not be enough again. However, Stormers are facing a struggling run of games and will need to show competitiveness. Bet on the Stormers as the record backs them, while the Scarlets struggle offensively.
