Six Nations Favourites

The Six Nations competition is all set to have some exciting clashes between several teams who are very much at the top of their game right now. At time of writing, Ireland and France are down as being the favourite to win overall according to odds from Topbettingsites.ie. What’s even more exciting about that is that these two teams are set to play each other at the very beginning of the event.

Ireland are marked as a favourite right now because they have been incredibly consistent with their performance in the Six Nations. In the last few years, you will very rarely see them drop below the top three. They are also well-known for their excellent tactics and balance of young talent and experienced players. This could see them clinch the win against the French team.

However, that doesn’t mean that you should underestimate the French team themselves. Again, they have been performing really well in recent competitions, and they have a talent for reacting to events on the pitch and coming up with new tactics on the fly. That could help them get the win during this year’s event.

Betting On The Underdog

Many punters out there are going to be tempted to bet on either Ireland or France to take the win, and of course they can get a decent return on that bet if they succeed. However, if you want to go for an underdog bet, right now Scotland are very much the dark horse of the competition.

This is because they had a very strong august last year, having a decisive victory against Georgia, well also only losing to France by just 3 points. They did not make it out of the group stages, they still worked hard to get the results they did, meaning they have a lot to prove during this event.

Many betting experts are saying that while they may not take the cup, they could well take second place. If you are looking to make a bet on the underdog and potentially win big, then this may be the bet for you.

Now you have all the basics about the 2024 Six Nations down. With the current outright odds being available, you could start planning your bets and potentially making a tiny profit on the results. Will you go for a safe bet on Ireland or France, or will you go for a dark horse like Scotland?
