Wales vs Scotland Predictions, Six Nations Betting Tips, Odds & Bet Builder
Scotland's Six Nations campaign has already been a rollercoaster.
A frustrating opening defeat to Italy in Rome was followed by a statement Calcutta Cup victory over England, and now Gregor Townsend's men head to Cardiff eyeing back-to-back wins against a Wales side struggling for form.
The Scots struggled with the conditions in Rome, slipping to an 18-15 loss, but they bounced back in style with a 31-20 win over England.
Wales, meanwhile, were hammered 48-7 by England and then swept aside 54-12 by the French.
Scotland may not have France's firepower, but on current form, they look well placed to pile more pressure on the hosts - and the betting markets reflect that confidence.

Wales vs Scotland Tips
Here's a look at our rugby tips for Saturday's game, complete with the latest odds and the best free bets available.
Tip 1: Scotland to win by 8-14 points
A third straight weekend of Six Nations action will stretch every squad, and while Scotland travel to Cardiff without Jamie Ritchie, Jack Dempsey, and Jamie Dobie, they still have enough quality to secure a second win of the campaign.
Gregor Townsend's side don't always blow teams away when installed as strong favourites with the betting sites, which tempers expectations of a rout.
Wales, despite heavy defeats, showed more resilience against France and have a habit of rallying late against Scotland - as last year's 35-29 game at Murrayfield proved after a 20-point half-time deficit, and the 2024 clash between these sides, which ended 27-26 after Scotland led 27-0.
That pattern points to a competitive contest in which Scotland controls much of the match but face a second-half push.
The visitors look well placed to win - but by a controlled margin, making Scotland by 8-14 points an appealing betting angle.
Tip 2: Blair Kinghorn to score the first try
Gregor Townsend has rolled the dice by recalling Blair Kinghorn and Duhan van der Merwe for the trip to Cardiff - and Kinghorn looks excellent value at 14/1 in the first try scorer market.
Back at full-back after missing the England win, Kinghorn returns in the No.15 shirt with a point to prove.
That roaming role gives him licence to join the line at pace, hit outside channels early and pop up in support - prime territory for an early strike.
The matchup also stacks up - Wales have leaked points heavily across their opening two Six Nations games, while Scotland arrive buzzing after lifting the Calcutta Cup.
If the visitors control possession and territory from the off, expect them to test the Welsh backfield.
With space likely to open up wide, Kinghorn's pace, timing and attacking instincts make him a great shout to grab the first try of the match.
Tip 3: Huw Jones to score a try, Louis Rees-Zammit to score a try & Blair Kinghorn to score a try
This is a clash that traditionally sees tries, and there's a case for Huw Jones, Louis Rees-Zammit and Blair Kinghorn all to dot down in Cardiff.
Jones is flying after last weekend's Calcutta Cup, taking his Test tally to 25 with two sharp finishes against England.
When Scotland get front-foot ball, he's lethal in space - and Wales have looked shaky defending the edges.
Rees-Zammit is still Wales' biggest strike weapon, and although he's yet to score in 2026, he leads the team for metres gained and thrives in broken play.
If Wales get any momentum or turnover ball, he's the man most likely to cash in.
While Kinghorn adds even more pace and power to Scotland's back three.
With Jones attracting defenders in midfield, space opens up wide - and if this game stretches, don't be surprised to see the Toulouse full-back find his way over the whitewash.
