We have our Wallabies vs Springboks prediction for the 1st test on Sunday, September 27, at 9:45pm at Optus Stadium in Perth.
It’s going to be a tough test for the Wallabies to handle the Springboks, but playing at home could give the Australians an edge.
Our Wallabies vs Springboks tips look at the best bets for the big game, and the latest rugby odds are available.
Money has come for the Wallabies to cover the spread, and although it looks difficult on paper, playing in Perth typically ends well for them.
They play some of their best rugby in Perth, and after making the long trip to Australia, the Springboks could struggle to put everything together on Sunday night. That’s why there has been good betting support for the Wallabies.
Based on their recent form, the Springboks win by double-digits. They come off a 3-1 series win over the All Blacks, and Australia struggled against Argentina. However, this game is circumstantial, and it plays into the Wallabies’ hands.
A close game is expected, and punters just need Australia’s scrum to hold up, and they should cover the +8.5 spread.
Wallabies vs Springboks odds have the line at 58.5 points, and the under is one of our most confident bets for this game.
It could take them around 20 minutes to put a try on the board, in what should be a tight defensive battle in the first half. We expect the Wallabies and Springboks to trade penalties for the most part before scoring a couple of late tries.
With South Africa likely playing with fatigue, they could be kept to under 30 points, and that should be enough for under 58.5 to come through with our Wallabies vs Springboks prediction.
Our Wallabies vs Springboks tips include the Wallabies to win the first half at generous odds of $2.70.
If the Wallabies want to have any chance of winning this game, they need to start well. The Springboks aren’t a team that gets run down in the second half, so it’s important for Australia to play well in the opening 40 minutes.
That’s easier said than done against the best team in the world, but given the odds available, we can’t turn down the value for Australia to win the first half. They should come out with a point to prove, so they’re worth the risk.
Our Wallabies vs Springboks SGM pays $4.62, and it’s worth including in rugby tips this week.
We have the Wallabies playing well in the first half and holding on to cover the +8.5 full-game spread. They should play better than what they showed against Argentina.
A low-scoring game is expected, so include under 58.5 points and under 4.5 first-half tries.
