About Scottish team
This upcoming match will be the third of four matches Scotland’s playing in the pool stage. As of 6 October, Scotland is currently in third place out of the five countries in the pool; the country has to end up in second or first place if it is going to qualify for the next stage, the quarter-finals. However, if its final result is third, it will still qualify for the 2023 Rugby World Cup. For Scotland to place second, it has got to win both its upcoming matches and Ireland has got to lose its last match. However, it is more likely that Scotland will end up finishing the pool stage in third place.
About Russian team
Russia is currently in fifth place on the Pool A leader board with no points scored. The country has sadly lost all three matches it has played so far, scoring 10-30 against Japan, 9-34 against Samoa and 0-35 against Ireland. It’s effectively been eliminated from the tournament, given that it’s impossible for the country to win or come second, third or fourth.
Even if Russia wins the match against Scotland, it will still be last on the leaderboard.
Scotland vs Russian, best odds and prediction
Given the poor performance from Russia, it’s no great surprise that the bookmakers are backing Scotland to win.
Odds of 1/80(1.01) are being offered by Betfair and Paddy Power.
Some major bookmakers, such as William Hill, 888 Sports aren’t even offering any odds for this event, given that it’s so highly likely that Scotland is going to win.
Odds for a Russia win are still being offered by: BetFred and SkyBet have 25/1 odds.
Odds for a draw range from 28/1 at BetVictor to 66/1 at William Hill and Betfair
Even though this match is hardly going to be significant given that Russia can’t advance on the leader board, it may just help Scotland earn some more points and fare better on the leader board.
