Ireland to Win
1.33 (Lunubet Sports)
Ireland, reigning Grand Slam champions, bring strong momentum into this opening Six Nations clash against England. With home advantage and a deep, consistent side coached by Andy Farrell (assistant coach Simon Easterby to take charge while Farrell is on British and Irish Lions duty), Ireland are favourites. England aim to bounce back from a disappointing 2024 and make a strong statement under coach Steve Borthwick.
Match Prediction
Ireland are expected to control possession and game tempo, leveraging superior breakdown skills and clinical finishing. England’s strong forward pack may challenge Ireland’s defense but recent history and form favour the home side to secure a tight but confident victory.
Our Prediction: 🏆 Ireland to win 🏆
Betting Odds
