Scotland vs Italy Predictions & Tips - Italy to get close at Murrayfield
- Italy favoured to cover the +18.5 handicap.
- Scotland won 13 of the last 14 matches against Italy.
- Italy's recent improvements make them capable challengers.
Scotland vs Italy Predictions
Scotland are in good form and should manage a win at home against Italy, despite suffering a two-point defeat in Rome last season. However, the 18.5 handicap looks a bit steep to me considering the Scots have only managed to cover that in one of their last nine fixtures against the Italians.

Head to Head
In 13 of the last 14 matches between these two sides, Scotland were victorious. Last season, Italy caused a major upset at home, beating Scotland 31-29.
Scotland Form
Scotland did very well in the 2024 Six Nations before a defeat on the penultimate weekend to Italy put them back on the table. They also ran Ireland close in Dublin on in the final week.
Since the Six Nations of 2024, Scotland have won seven of their eight matches, their only defeat coming to South Africa in November last year. However, Scotland’s mid-year tour to the Americas did inflate their stocks with four comfortable wins over tier two nations.
When the Scots welcomes the Southern Hemisphere in November, they beat Fiji, Portugal and Australia. Their only defeat came in a 32-15 loss to South Africa.
Scotland Injuries & Team News
Scotland have confidence after a strong showing in 2024 where they did well in the Six Nations. There shouldn’t be much deviation from that side.
Italy Form
Italy are a vastly improved side over the last 24 months. After a very disappointing 2023 Rugby World Cup, the Italians have come together for some amazing results.
During the 2024 Six Nations, Italy lost by 36 points to Ireland, but other than that, no one ran away with a game. England beat Italy by three points while the Italians drew in France before beating Scotland at home and Wales away.
In November, Italy produced a very poor performance in a heavy home defeat to Argenitna before bouncing back with a win over Georgia. They then lost their last game, 29-11 to New Zealand but were very competitive throughout.
Italy Injuries & Team News
Italy will stick with a similar side to that which featured last year although current form will play a role n selection.
Verdict
Italy have always been competitive against Scotland with only one of their last nine games ending in defeat by more than 18.5 points. I am backing Italy to cover that margin.
