Fiji and Scotland conclude the summer section of their Nations Championship campaigns when they clash at Murrayfield on Saturday.
The Fijians are again the 'home' team, with this the third match this month in which they have been the nominal hosts against a team playing in their own country, as they look to raise funds to build a stadium and infrastructure that comply with international rules.
Complacency may have got the better of Fiji in their 39-24 defeat to Wales, but they were woeful in their 73-8 defeat against England, not helped by Simione Kuruvoli's red card for kicking out at Ellis Genge.
Murmurs of off-field frustration among their players over conditions are being borne out through results in the Nations Championship.
Scotland beat Argentina 47-38 before losing 42-28 to South Africa.
Gregor Townsend has made 14 changes to his starting side but they should still have too much for a travelling team lacking cohesion and identity.
Fiji v Scotland Tips Summary
Best Bet - Scotland -18.5 @ 1/1
Alternative Bet - Gregor Hiddleston to score two or more tries @ 4/1
Bet Builder - Darcy Graham to score a try, Duhan van der Merwe to score a try & Ollie Smith to score a try @ 5/1
Fiji v Scotland Prediction
Best Bet: Scotland -18.5 @ 1/1
Scotland were excellent in Argentina and also pushed the Springboks hard in Pretoria.
Townsend has decided to use this game as a chance to rotate, but has still selected a quality team, including record try scorer Darcy Graham among those included in a side captained by centre Stafford McDowall.
Fiji hand a debut to Virimi Vakatawa, who earned 32 caps for France before retiring due to a heart issue.
However, he has since resumed his career, playing the 2026 Super Rugby campaign for the Drua and has the skill and power to trouble the Scots.
Still, Fiji's set-piece has been poor against Wales and England, while defence has also appeared optional at times.
Townsend has built great attacking systems within the Scotland squad and this much-changed team should still have too much for the talented, yet flawed Fijians.
Fiji beat the Scots 29-14 when the pair met in Suva in 2025, but they look to be unravelling, and having conceded 112 points in this series, are expected to struggle again at Murrayfield.
Alternative Bet: Gregor Hiddleston to score two or more tries @ 4/1
Hooker Gregor Hiddleston will be at the heart of Scotland's attempts to exploit Fiji's set-piece shortcomings at the scrum and line-out, yet his ability to score tries makes him a truly special player.
Hiddleston got over on his debut against Argentina and makes his first international start on Saturday.
Jamie George dotted down for England last weekend and the Scotland newbie's involvement at the back of the maul makes him a great price to score two or more tries.
Fiji v Scotland Bet Builder Tip
Darcy Graham to score a try
Duhan van der Merwe to score a try
Ollie Smith to score a try
Pays 5/1
Graham is Scotland's record try scorer and is backed to add to his 38 tries, as is fellow winger Duhan van der Merwe, who has crossed on 35 occasions for his adopted country.
Van der Merwe may thrive in the open spaces offered by the Fijian defence but the player to bring extra value to this treble is Ollie Smith.
Able to play across the back-line, Smith will wear the number 13 jersey at Murrayfield and will look to become the latest centre to experience joy against Fiji this summer.
Wales outside centre Eddie James went over on the opening weekend of the Nations Championship, while all three of England's centres - starters Seb Atkinson and Henry Slade, plus replacement Benhard Janse van Rensburg - scored tries last weekend.
The 13 channel is the toughest to defend, especially when you're new to the system like Vakatawa.
