Ospreys vs Edinburgh
Bottom placed Ospreys will be looking to kickstart their season when they take on Edinburgh in this URC encounter. The home side have been very disappointing to date with just one win from their opening five matches. The good news for them is that that one win did come at this venue when they beat the Stormers. Edinburgh on the other hand are currently in sixth but they are yet to win on the road. Their last away match saw them trail the Lions by a record 48-0 scoreline. They will be looking for a much better start against a struggling Ospreys outfit.
TIP: The Ospreys were forced to field a weakened team against Ulster and the performance on the field certainly reflected this. They will be hoping that some of their key players return as they lacked cohesion in attack and defence. Edinburgh were superb in the second half against Cardiff as their replacements steam rolled the Welsh side. The likes of Pierre Schoeman and his front row will surely start in this match after coming off the bench. The bookies have Edinburgh as favorites but I am backing the Ospreys for the upset win. The best odds on this bet are as follows: Tictacbets 3.38, Soccershop 3.38 and Bettabets 3.38

PREDICTION
The Brewery Field has proven to be a happy hunting ground for the Ospreys and they will be looking to the home support to carry them to victory. Captain Jac Morgan will have a huge role to play as will the rest of his loose trio if they are to lay the platform for their backs. Edinburgh will look to their powerful pack to dominate the home sides forwards so that will give their dangerous wingers Duhan van der Merwe and Darcy Graham enough space to run havoc. The rolling maul is one weapon of Ospreys that has been working well and no doubt they will be setting their sights on driving at every chance. I am predicting a 6-point win for the home side.

Sports crazy fan that follows all major sport but the game with the oval ball is my real passion. Was an age level rugby coach and a huge supporter of the Springboks and diehard Liverpool man. I’m an experienced punter and sports writer whose predictions/tips are sure to stir up the emotions. I love the occasional wager on the underdog.
