Bulls vs Munsters Prediction: Munsters have to prove themselves on the road

Loftus Versfeld will host this United Rugby Championship game between the Bulls and Munsters. With defeat in their respective last game, both sides will come in hoping to turn things around. Let’s look into the details of this game while also providing betting opportunities. 

Bulls were defeated by the Northampton Saints the previous weekend, eliminating them from the European Rugby Champions Cup. In a game that ended 59-22, Bulls were completely overplayed in the second half, as they failed to score just one goal. However, a look at their last league game also saw them lost to Leinster on the road, and coming here, they will hope for nothing but a win. So far in 13 games, Bulls have 45 points, good enough to see them position third in the league standings.

The last time Munsters played, they lost to Northampton Saints in the European Rugby Champions Cup in a 24-14 game. Munsters stood strong in the first half in that game, forcing a 14-14 draw. However, the second half was not nice for them, as they failed to score a goal. In the meantime, it is worth noting that Munsters won back-to-back games in prior encounters to that loss, defeating Crusaders, Scarlets, Zebre, Ospreys, and Cardiff Rugby. Munsters now have 43 points in the league this season, coming from 13 games, as they sit fourth in the standings.

Bulls, being heavily favored, know they have a lot of work to do, as the visiting Munsters have been a threat to them in the past. With just one win in three encounters of this fixture, the Bulls can not be easily backed at home, as Munsters also have been remarkable in their recent league games. This should be a close encounter, with Munsters staying within the handicap, in a game that should end with few goals.
