Gallagher Premiership Final Tips

On the face of it, first against second in the Premiership final is no surprise, but it could have been a very different story in the semi-finals.

Bath, who have been by far the strongest side all season and ran away in the regular season standings, needed a big turnaround after half-time having gone into the break 13-6 down, while Leicester needed a 67th-minute try to secure their place in the showpiece finale.

Looking at the form tables and everything else, it should be a routine Bath win to cap off a dominant campaign, but finals are never quite so straightforward so let's have a look at a couple of rugby betting tips.

HT/FT: Leicester/Bath

HT/FT: Leicester/Bath

6/1
Bet ยฃ10 Get ยฃ60 in Free Bets. 18+ gambleaware.org. Spread betting losses can exceed deposit. Place a qualifying ยฃ10 fixed odds bet at odds of 1/2 or greater and get 3x ยฃ10 free fixed odds bets in consecutive days and 6x ยฃ5 free spread bets across consecutive days. Qualifying bet cannot be placed in-play or cashed out early. Free bets expire in 28 days if unused.

One of the standout features of Bath's season has been the depth of their squad, and their ability to impact the game off the bench.

This was evident in the semi-final as they ran riot in the second half with four tries in 20 minutes and a real battery of players to bring off the bench, but I do fancy them to have a wobble early on.

In Handre Pollard Leicester have someone who has been there, done it and won everything there is in World Rugby, so with his big-game temperament I can see the Tigers hitting the ground running and causing a worry or two, before their strength off the bench pulls them over the line.

No points for imagination, but in a game when I think there will be tries, I'm backing two wingers to touch down at some point in the game.

Not just any wingers mind, Joe Cokanasiga scored in the semi-final and against Leicester last time the two teams met (a big win for Bath) and with eight tries this season, will be a big threat on Saturday.

Adam Radwan is another who was on target in the semi-final, this time scoring twice to take his season tally for the season to 10. Two real attacking threats in what should be an open, attacking game of rugby.

Rugby Ante-Post Tournament Previews & Predictions

When the top rugby tournaments arrive, the ante-post markets will appear, offering punters more options to those looking to place a wager.

Our rugby ante-post predictions will dive into those markets, but we donโ€™t just want to tell you the winner - we want to find the best betting value. This means we look at markets such as a team to reach the final of a tournament or to top their pool - all ways in which we try to bring additional value to the biggest events.


Rugby Acca Betting Tips

With rugby matches taking place throughout the year, itโ€™s an ideal sport to place an Acca on. Here we will take a look at the list of games taking place and find the best bets of the day, putting them together in an Acca so you can keep ahead of the action.

Singles are sometimes not worthwhile on rugby due to the odds on specific teams, but like with football, an Acca on rugby is a great way to bypass that and still get a good return if you manage to land a winning bet.


Free Rugby Tips

The final point to mention is that here at Freebets, all our rugby tips are free - they are not behind a paywall or require a subscription to access them.
