Italy vs Scotland U-20 Preview


Italy are favourites on home soil after two very impressive away performances in round two and three. I am backing the hosts to cover the -14 handicap against Scotland.

Head to Head


Last season Italy beat Scotland 40-17 away from home.

Italy U-20 Form


Italy are fourth on the U20 Six Nations table with one win and two defeats in three matches.

Other than on the opening weekend when Italy lost 36-11 at home to England, they have been very impressive. In round two, Italy took Ireland to the wire away from home, losing 23-22. They will still be kicking themselves that they didn’t get over the line.

In round three, Italy did get over the line though, beating France 23-20 away from home. It was another superb performance by the Italians, further showing their growth in the game.

Italy U-20 Injuries & Team News


Italy have been superb on the road in the last two rounds. They will hope they can produce another strong performance, this time in front of their own fans.

Scotland U-20 Form


Scotland are bottom of the table after losing all three of their opening games.

The Scots have played some decent rugby at times but have failed to get over the line when it counts. They lost 37-29 in Wales in round one before going down 29-14 in France.

At home last weekend, Scotland lost 30-17 to England. In all three games Scotland were very competitive, but the big moments have consistently gone in favour of the opposition.

Scotland U-20 Injuries & Team News


Scotland may look to change things up a bit this weekend to ensure their full squad gets some time.

Verdict

I am backing Italy to win by more than 14 points at home against Scotland.
