Ireland v Italy Betting Tips [27 February 2022]

Ireland boosted their Six Nations hopes with a win over Wales in the second week of the Six Nations. That followed an opening loss in Paris but a second win is on the cards as they host Italy this weekend. Ireland are 1/150 to win this match and we really do need more competitive matches than this in such an important tournament. Italy just keep on losing and so far this year have lost to England and France with 70 points already conceded. It is almost the case where teams play them and need a big win to get that bonus point and boost their points difference in case they end up level on points with other teams.

The Irish side has won their last 11 games against Italy, last losing to them nine years ago. Last year saw them go to Rome and win by a 38 point margin. A loss for Italy in this game will be their 100th loss since joining the Six Nations and they last won a match in this tournament in 2015. Back Ireland to win this on a -34 handicap.
