Glasgow Warriors v Bulls Prediction, Tips and Bet Builder

Glasgow Warriors and the Bulls have played out some monumental clashes in recent years and the next chapter in their growing rivalry will be written at Murrayfield in the United Rugby Championship playoff semi-finals on Saturday.

The highest-profile encounter between these sides came in June 2024, when the Warriors beat the Bulls in the URC Grand Final 21-16 at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria.

Coming into this game in great form, the Bulls will provide Glasgow with a stern examination of their title credentials but it’s a test which the Warriors look capable of passing in front of a bumper crowd at Murrayfield.

Glasgow Warriors v Bulls Prediction

Best Bet: Glasgow Warriors -3.5 handicap @ 1/1

While the Bulls come into this game on the back of a five-game winning streak in all competitions, their last defeat came at the hands of Glasgow Warriors in the European Rugby Challenge Cup knockout stages in April.

The Warriors triumphed 25-21 that day at Scotstoun, with Scotland centre Stafford McDowall scoring a vital try in the 72nd minute to help seal the victory.

Glasgow have now won both of their last two meetings with the Bulls and, with the Warriors to win and covering a -3.5 handicap landing in those two encounters, the trend is backed to continue on Saturday.

Alternative Bet: Team to score first - Bulls @ 5/6

While Glasgow are expected to come out on top this weekend, the Bulls are good value to score the opening points of the game in the Scottish capital.

The Bulls scored a penalty to open the scoring the last time these sides crossed paths at Scotstoun in April, while in Glasgow’s last match, it was Connacht who also bagged the opening points.

With that in mind, the 11/10 for the Bulls to score the opening points appeals here.

Glasgow Warriors v Bulls Bet Builder Tip

• Glasgow Warriors by 1-12 points

• Glasgow Warriors first to 10 points

• Glasgow Warriors to win both halves
  
  Pays 16/1

The Warriors to win by a 1-12 margin would have landed in the last two meetings between these sides and gets the nod again in this three-fold bet builder.

While the Bulls might bag the opening points, it doesn’t normally take Glasgow long to hit their stride and the hosts are tipped to be the first side to reach 10 points.

Finally, the in-form Warriors, with their side brimming with Scotland internationals, are backed to win both halves on Saturday.

Glasgow won both halves the last time they faced the Bulls in the URC and they are tipped to repeat the feat this weekend.
