Week two of the Six Nations 2023 sees Scotland vs Wales on the 11th February at BT Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh. After Scotland clawed their way to victory against England and Wales took a hammering against Ireland in week one, chances of retaining the Doddie Weir Cup are looking bleak for the Men in Red. Can Scotland fight back and grab a big W to make it two from two?
The man in the middle of the pitch, officiating, will be New Zealander Paul Williams.
Before looking at the key indicators for a winner of this Scotland vs Wales test, I will provide a few odds from the best rugby betting sites.

🦄 Scotland Overview
✔️ Scotland Recent Form
⏪ Scotland Six Nations 2022 Form
A fourth place finish is nothing to brag about in the Six Nations, and Scotland will be especially disappointed that they could not claim an away win against Wales last year. Based on last year's performance, the bookies certainly didn't give the Scots much hope before the onset, as we saw from the Six Nations outright winner odds. Do they have any hope of better form this year? Could there be a silver lining? Let's look below.
▶️ Scotland Six Nations 2023 Form
What a great performance by Scotland in their 23-29 win against England in Twickenham, retaining the Calcutta cup for a third year in a row. Man of the Match, Scotland winger, Duhan van der Merwe was outstanding, and his try will surely be up there for the try of the competition, after he evaded five English tacklers. There is only one issue I can foresee. Scotland have a pattern of putting in an almighty shift against England and then losing to Wales the following week. To beat Gatland’s men, they must be better on basic handling, stopping losing rucks, and overall discipline. Last year, they gave away 13 penalties and lost Finn Russell to the naughty step. Keeping their playmaker on the pitch to ensure the kind of flowing rugby we saw against England will be key to unravelling the Welsh defence.

⏪ Wales Six Nations 2022 Form
Wales fared no better than Scotland in the 2022 Six Nations, having managed a measly fifth place. There was even the blight of losing to Italy on home soil - something no Welshman will forget any time soon. Having beaten the Scots in last year's competition, however, the jury may be out as to a clear Scotland vs Wales winner. Let's look at more recent form to help decide this rugby prediction.
▶️ Wales Six Nations 2023 Form
Having sacked Wayne Pivac, prodigal-son Head Coach, Warren Gatland was reappointed to the top job with the goal of turning around Welsh rugby in 2023. It doesn't look as if there will be much of a welcome-back party for the Kiwi, however, given the way that Ireland put Wales to the sword last week. In the first half, Wales forgot to turn up; in the second, they dominated possession, but could do nothing to tear down Ireland's wall of defence. In the end, the 10-34 scoreboard said it all. Will there be much change with the (old) new man in charge or are the problems far wider than the coaching team for Welsh rugby? Some have already started asking how long it will be before we see another Coach at the helm.

This is going to be the closest match of week two, and it will be a gigantic struggle for both teams. Wales will want to get their team back on track after their dismal performance against Ireland. Scotland will want to break the pattern of ruining great starts to their Six Nations campaigns. The key factor will be discipline, discipline, discipline, and any team that fails to heed my warning will be stung with unnecessary penalties, yellow cards, and easy tries. Out of the two, I believe Scotland will be better able to keep their composure, so I have to give it to the Scots. I'm predicting them to take home the Doddie Weir Cup by five points.
Prediction for the Scotland vs Wales winner? Scotland to win.
💶 Scotland vs Wales Six Nations Betting Tips
Normally, I start my betting tips section speaking about the match winner odds. This time, I've decided to do things in reverse. I've predicted a five-point win, so you would think I would be looking at Scotland (-4.5 points) to win at odds of 1.68. When you see the bookies have Scotland to win at 1.39 odds, however, you may think those are competitive enough whilst giving you an extra 4.5 points to play with in comparison. For me, I would consider going for the outright, just in case Scotland still write another win in the history books but only do so by around a penalty's worth.
