England vs Scotland Prediction & Betting Tips - Six Nations
by Steve Ashfield | in Six Nations Predictions
England are home to Scotland on Saturday and a lot more than Six Nations points are at stake. The hosts will be going all out to regain the Calcutta Cup after a loss at Murrayfield last year. England are third in the Six Nations, a point ahead of Scotland. Here's our match prediction.
The last four matches between these two countries have all been won by Scotland. England will want to change that and become Calcutta Cup holders for the first time since 2020. Their last Six Nations match saw them beat France at home. That gives them hope of another win this weekend.
Like their opponents, Scotland have won one and lost the other in this year's Six Nations. They are five points behind leaders Ireland and that gap is expected to be much wider as the Irish take on bottom-of-the-table Wales earlier on Saturday. Scotland will need a win here to stay in title contention.

England - Scotland: Form Analysis
After their opening Six Nations loss to Ireland, England got back into winning ways a fortnight ago. They beat France by a single point in a thrilling match. That was the kind of game that England have been losing in the past year or so.
They have six points from their first two games and that has put them four points behind Ireland. Their recent record against Scotland is not good with the last four games all being lost. England haven't beaten Scotland at home since 2017 but that win over France should have given them a massive confidence boost.
Scotland are determined to retain the Calcutta Cup.
Scotland have five points from their two games and will want to hold onto the Calcutta Cup this weekend. They began this tournament with a win over Italy but were no match for Ireland in their last match.
Their away form in the Six Nations isn't encouraging though with the last three all being lost.

England & Scotland Squad Analysis
For the first time in nearly a year, Ollie Chessum is in the England starting line-up. He will be in the second row for this home match against Scotland. He's a versatile player who is likely to play an important role in this match.
There is just one change to the squad that was chosen for the match against France with George Martin only on the bench.
England will be hoping for another strong performance from Fin Smith after he won the man-of-the-match award in that win over France. Marcus Smith is again in the number 15 jersey and he's a player to keep a close eye on. Scotland will give him a strong aerial battle.
Russell is fit to play this weekend.
Scotland are out to create history with a fifth successive Calcutta Cup win. They have had good news with the confirmation that Finn Russell will be fit for this match after being concussed during the loss to Ireland.
Not such good news is that wing Darcy Graham (also concussed in that game) won't be playing this weekend. Kyle Rowe comes into the team and other changes see Jamie Ritchie and Pierre Schoeman in the starting line-up.
England - Scotland Key Points
- England beat France in their last match, while Scotland were beaten at home by Ireland.
- Scotland have lost their last three away Six Nations matches.
- England have won four of their last five home games in the Six Nations.
- Scotland will be missing some key players for this match.

Our England vs Scotland Prediction
England got back into winning ways in the Six Nations with a home win over France. Another tough battle is on the cards this weekend as they host Scotland with the Calcutta Cup also on the line.
Scotland have won the last four games between these two countries and are unbeaten in their last three away games against England. They have a few injuries though and our England v Scotland prediction is England to win and lead at half and full time.
