Edinburgh vs Ospreys Preview


Edinburgh are a tough side to beat at home despite both of these sides missing some players to international duty. However, Ospreys form has been outstanding of late with five wins on the bounce.

I still think the hosts will have enough to secure the points, but I feel it will be by less than 10 points.

  • Edinburgh have won 6 of their last 7 home matches.
  • Edinburgh have won their last 2 matches.
  • Ospreys have won their last 5 matches.

Head to Head


Edinburgh beat Ospreys 45-21 at home last season.

Edinburgh Form


Edinburgh are enjoying a fine season but will want to finish strongly over the next eight rounds. They are currently fifth on the table with seven wins from 10 games.

The Scottish side have won their last two matches, beating Scarlets 31-19 and Zebre 24-19. Prior to that, Edinburgh lost by a point to Gloucester in Europe after beating archrivals, Glasgow 19-14 at home.

Edinburgh Injuries & Team News


Edinburgh are in good form and though they are missing players to the Six Nations, they still have a very strong squad from which to pick.

Ospreys Form


Ospreys are having a strong season particularly if you look at their fellow Welsh sides. At this point, Ospreys are seventh on the table with six wins and four defeats in 10 URC games.

The Welsh side have won their last five games in all competitions as well. They beat Scarlets away and Cardiff at home in the URC before seeing off Perpignan and the Lions in the Challenge Cup.

Last time out, Ospreys claimed a big win, beating Ulster 19-17 at home. It was a performance that surprised many given Ulster’s strength, regardless of both sides missing key players to international duty.

Ospreys Injuries & Team News


While Ospreys will be without their Welsh international players, it is the same for the opposition. I expect a similar side to the one that beat Ulster.

Verdict

I am backing Ospreys to get within the 10-point handicap.
