Scotland vs France and England vs Wales are the stand out fixtures in Six Nations Round 2 and @Olimp_SA have a preview including betting tips from "The Don"
After some thrilling matches in the opening round of the Six Nations, all eyes now shift to the second round. In this article, 'The Don' studies the betting odds for the Scotland vs. France and England vs. Wales matches, both scheduled to take place on Saturday, February 10th.
Scotland vs France
In Scotland's opening match of the tournament, they played against Wales in Cardiff, securing a narrow one-point victory with the final score being 26-27 with Wales scoring 26 unanswered points. Despite the win, Scotland missed out on a bonus point, leaving them with four points and placing them third on the table as they head into their second game.
France started their campaign with a home game against Ireland but fell short of securing their first victory, losing 38-17. Like Scotland, France also failed to earn any bonus points, leaving them at the bottom of the table with no points and their Six Nations dreams seemingly in tatters for another year.
Betting
Scotland 2.80
France 1.57
Verdict
With France unable to secure any points in their opening game, they will be eager to collect any they can in their second match. Facing a relatively in-form Scottish side at home, this matchup is expected to be closely contested, with Scotland likely to push France all the way to the wire.
The Dons Play
Handicap Scotland [+4.5] at 1.85

England vs Wales
England began their campaign with an away game against Italy. Despite falling behind early, England rallied to secure a 24-27 victory. This win earned England four points, placing them second on the table after the first round.
Wales, in their opening match, hosted Scotland. Unfortunately, they were unable to clinch victory in a closely contested match that ended 26-27. However, Wales did manage to earn two bonus points, placing them fourth on the table and they would have taken a lot of positives after their 2nd half comeback.
Betting
England 1.18
Wales 5.20
Verdict
England tried new combinations against Italy and it took a while for them to settle. While Wales have given them some tough matches at Twickenham over the years this is an inexperienced Welsh side and I expect England to find their feet earlier than last week and tp draw clear to win easily.
