Wales v Italy Rugby Six Nations 2019 Score Predictions, Preview, H2H, Live Stream, TV

The performance of Italy has been inconsistent in the last few matches. Although they scored a decent victory against Georgia, they lost to Ireland and New Zealand last November and Scotland in the round one. New Zealand brutally smashed Italy in their last match, significantly affecting their rating. In contrast, the performance of Wales in the opening match was astonishing and terrific and they scored a dramatic victory against France.

It is evident that the Wales Rugby is a stronger team than Italy. Additionally, their terrific performance against France in the opening match indicates the team’s determination to win the series. Therefore, according to our predictions, Wales will manage to score a victory against Italy and the score will be Wales 36 – Italy 14.

The Azzurri as usually couldn’t break the winning drought vs Scotland Rugby in 2nd Feb Game lost by 33-20. Italy captain Sergio Parisse said, “If we had the possession we are dangerous; we can score tries. I think Scotland deserved the win; they dominated the game, had a lot of possession – more than us – so of course, the last ten minutes is a good base to work on for the game next week against Wales”.

The Italy Rugby team still hope for the best to cut a good figure in the upcoming matches that will be held against Wales in this Saturday.
