by Steve Ashfield | in Six Nations Predictions
Scotland are fourth in the Six Nations table and this week are home to bottom-of-the-table Wales. The Scottish side have only six points from their first three games but that's five more than their opponents. Can they get a home win? Read our match prediction.
After this match, Scotland's final Six Nations fixture will see them travel to Paris to take on France. This therefore looks their best chance of getting another win in this competition. Their only success so far has been their opening home win over Italy.
Wales need to win one of their final two matches to avoid 'winning' the wooden spoon. They have lost all three of their matches so far but after a change of head coach, the Welsh side put in a better performance against Ireland in their last match. Their last match sees them host England so with this fixture at Murrayfield and then facing the country third in the table, it's a hard end to another disappointing campaign.

Scotland - Wales: Form Analysis
Scotland have only one win so far in this Six Nations tournament. The opening weekend saw them beat Italy at Murrayfield but since then they have lost at home to Ireland and were then beaten at Twickenham by England by a single point after leading.
They have won their last two matches against Wales but it was close in Cardiff last year with them winning by a solitary point.
Can Wales finally get a win?
Wales have lost 15 Test matches in a row and are again in danger of finishing bottom of the table. After this match, their final game will be at home to England who could still be chasing the Six Nations title.
This is their third away match in this season's Six Nations. They failed to score a point and conceded 43 against France and then lost against Italy.

Scotland & Wales Squad Analysis
Scotland lost to England in their last match but have only made one change to their starting line-up. Darcy Graham is back after missing the Twickenham defeat due to suffering a concussion in Scotland's loss to Ireland.
Making way for Graham is Kyle Rowe who starts this match on the bench. Scotland have the home advantage in this match and take on a struggling Welsh team but are aware they need to be on the top of their game to get a win.
Can Wales continue their improvement?
Wales now have Matt Sherratt as their coach. They put in a better performance last week when leading against Ireland at home but eventually lost by nine points. An unchanged XV has been named by them for this game against Scotland at Murrayfield.
The only changes are that Keiron Assiratti and Dewi Lake will be on the bench. Lake is a former Welsh captain, last being in that position in the 2024 autumn internationals. He's been unable to play due to a biceps injury. Having him coming on in the second half should help them.
Wales have been in dreadful form for well over a year but there were some encouraging signs of improvement against Ireland and they will hope to build on that this weekend and that's why for the first time since 2018 an unchanged XV has been named.
Scotland - Wales Key Points
- Wales have lost their last 15 Test matches.
- Scotland have won their last two games against Wales.
- Wales haven't won in the Six Nations since 2023.

Our Scotland vs Wales Prediction
Scotland came close to beating England in their last game but come into this match in fourth place. With France up next, this game against Wales is their best opportunity to earn a second Six Nations win of the season.
All eyes will be on Wales to see if they can build on that performance against Ireland. They won't want to get another wooden spoon but a loss here would make it difficult for them to avoid that. This isn't going to be easy for them and our main Scotland v Wales prediction is Scotland to win on a -12.5 points handicap.
