Scotland vs. Georgia Preview & Tips

Posted on by editor

Scotland takes on the plucky rugby-mad nation of Georgia on Wednesday in an interesting 2011 Rugby World Cup encounter.

Scotland vs. Georgia Trends Analysis

Wednesday’s match will mark the first time that Georgia plays Scotland on the international stage. This should open the game somewhat, as Scotland may struggle to find its rhythm against a team it has never played before.

Scotland had a few nervous moments against Romania in its opening World Cup match, but eventually managed to beat the Romanians by 10 points courtesy of some last minute tries.

The Scots now have four wins on the trot, and won’t be overly worried about the Georgians. The big Scottish forwards are more than a match for the Georgians, and Scotland has Paterson to keep the scoreboard ticking when things get messy.

Georgia’s form has been superb in 2011, although the Lilos have yet to play a Tier 1 team this season. The Georgians have six wins from six matches.

However, the Georgians won’t have much momentum coming into their first World Cup match, having played just one match since June.

Scotland vs. Georgia Betting Tips

Scotland should take this mismatch, but once again it may end up being a closer game than the Scots expect.

However, there’s no chance that Scotland will be caught napping in this match, and they will go into the match knowing the need 4 tries and full points to stay in contention for a quarterfinal place.

With this in mind our Scotland vs. Georgia betting tip is to take Scotland at a -17 handicap at odds of 1/1 at William Hill.
