FRIDAY
GLASGOW v EDINBURGH – click here to bet
Glasgow are currently 2nd on the URC log with 5 wins and 2 losses in their 7 matches. They have been involved in Champions Cup action over the last 2 weeks, losing to Northampton at home but fighting back with a 1-point win against Bayonne in France last weekend. Their last URC match was a 40-29 defeat at Munster.
Edinburgh are currently 5th on the log, and they have also had 5 wins and 2 losses. Edinburgh have been involved in The Challenge Cup where they started with a 13-point loss to Claremont, away, before beating Castres 34-21 at home. Their last URC action was 27-24 win at Ulster.
These sides last met in December 2022 with Glasgow winning home and away, both matches by a 6 point margin.
Handicap: Glasgow -5.5
Suggested bet: Glasgow -5.5 at 19/20
I think that Glasgow will be too strong for Edinburgh and will back them to beat the handicap.

SATURDAY
STORMERS v BULLS – click here to bet
The Stormers have made a slow start to their URC campaign and currently sit 10th on the log with 3 wins and 4 losses. They beat La Rochelle with a last-minute penalty at home in the Champions Cup last weekend and the week before, a second string Stormers team went down by 9 points to Leicester, away. The Stormers last URC action was 31-7 win over Zebre in Cape Town.
The Bulls are 3rd on the URC table with 5 wins and 2 losses in their 7 matches. Like the Stormers, they have been involved in Champions Cup action, beating Saracens 27-16 at home before losing 29-28 to Lyon in France. The Bulls last URC match was at home to the Sharks where they started 7 point favorites and ran out comfortable 34 point victors.
The Stormers have won the last 5 URC matches against the Bulls including a 33-21 win in Cape Town in May 2023.
Handicap: Stormers -2.5
Suggested bet: Under 50.5 points at 10/11
This is a crucial game for both sides and I expect it to be tight and am going to bet on a low-scoring encounter and this bet would have arrived in 3 of the last 5 head to head meetings.
