Only two teams remain in the United Rugby Championship and the question is who will be crowned champions? Will the Bulls pull off a win in front of their home crowd or will the Glasgow Warriors cause another upset on the road? We will take a look at the match from a betting angle.
The Bulls are favourites to win the tournament, trading at 1.25. The bookies have the Glasgow Warriors at 4.00 to win the tournament.

The Bulls finished second on the URC table after winning 13 of their 18 matches. They then went on to host Benetton in the quarter-finals, where they won the match 30-23. They followed on with a brilliant performance against Leinster at home last to win the match 25-20, a game where they started underdogs. The Bulls have won their last 6 matches in a row and have hosted 14 matches at home this season in all competitions and have gone on to win 13 of those with their only loss coming against Munster.
Glasgow Warriors also won 13 of their 18 pool matches but ended up with a points difference lower than Leinster, so they finished 4th on the table. They hosted the Stormers in the quarter-finals, winning the match 27-10. Last weekend they travelled to Munster to take on the defending champions and pulled off an upset, winning the match 17-10. Glasgow have played 13 matches away from home this season but have only managed to win 6.
Head-to-Head
The two sides played each other just over a month ago at Loftus in the group stages. The enthralling encounter ended 40-34 in favour of the Bulls. Although the Bulls won, the way Glasgow came back to almost snatch victory will fuel their belief they can win at Loftus.
Betting
The Bulls are heavy favourites to win the match and are trading at 1.33 while Glasgow are trading at 4.00, the draw is quoted at 26.00. The handicap at the time of writing is Glasgow [+8.5] at 1.95.
Verdict
We have seen time and time again that Loftus Versfeld is one of the most difficult stadiums to win at away from home. The Bulls have turned it into a genuine fortress. I think the Bulls will win this but it won’t be easy.
