OSPREYS v MUNSTER – Click here to bet
The Ospreys are currently sitting 10th on the table with 6 victories and 5 defeats in their 11 matches. Their last match was away at Edinburgh where they lost 19-15 and prior to that they hosted Ulster in the middle of February winning 19-17.
Munster are currently 6th on the log with 6 victories, 1 draw and 4 defeats. They have won 3 out of their last 5 matches and last time out beat Zebre 45-29 at home, having hammered the Scarlets 42-7 on the road the week before.
Head-to-Head
These sides last met at Munster in 2023 with the home team winning 58-3, but the last time Ospreys hosted Munster they won 18-10 in 2021.
Handicap: Ospreys +7.5
Munster should win this, but I don’t think it is going to be a runaway victory and I am going to bet that we get a winning margin of 8 to 14 points inclusive
Suggested Bet: Winning Margin Munster by 8-14 points at 26/10

GLASGOW v CARDIFF – Click here to bet
Glasgow are currently sitting 3rd on the table with 8 victories and 3 defeats in their 11 matches. Their most recent action was in early March, away at Benetton where they won 19-9 and their last home game was a 40-7 point victory over the Dragons.
Cardiff are currently 12th on the log with 3 victories, a draw and 7 defeats in their 11 games and they have lost their last 3 matches in the URC, most recently going down by 13 points at home to Leinster and previously by 4 points at home to Connacht.
Head-to-Head
These sides last met in 2022 with Glasgow winning 52-24 at home and they have won 3 of the last 4 meetings between the sides
Handicap: Glasgow -16.5
Glasgow should be too strong for Cardiff and I am backing them to get out of the gates strongly and to build a good lead by half-time.
Suggested Bet: First-Half Handicap, Glasgow -7.5 at 9/10
