Wales vs Ireland Prediction: Ireland to run riot in Wales

At Millennium Stadium, Wales will play Ireland in round 3 of the Six Nations. The two nations will head into this game hoping for a win. Which team takes chances? Below, I preview this game and offer best betting opportunities. 

Wales

Wales played Italy in their last Six Nations contest and lost. In a 22-15 contest, Wales struggled in the first half and despite pulling off a 6-12 win in the second half, they could not turn the tables. In the meantime, Wales have struggled so much in recent matches, having also started their campaign with a defeat to France. Heading into this game, Wales last win was against Reds in a friendly contest, coming in last July. 

Ireland

Ireland played Scotland in their last Six Nations contest and pulled off a win. In an 18-32 contest, Ireland won each half and will hope to continue on the right path. However, this team started their campaign with a 27-22 hard fought victory over England. Heading into this game, Ireland have a winning run of five matches, with their last defeat coming against New Zealand last November. 

Expert Betting Tips

Ireland are performing at a top level since the beginning of this Six Nations and I do not see them slacking yet. Also, with Wales finding it difficult to find their footing, I do not think they are ready to pull off an upset. This should be an easy win for the visitors and with Wales being poor defensively, I expect Ireland to exploit their poor defence.
