Houston SaberCats vs Old Glory DC Prediction: A tough competitive matchup ahead

This round 17 clash of Major League Rugby will take place at SaberCats Stadium between the Houston SaberCats and Old Glory DC.

Last weekend, the Houston SaberCats continued their winning streak with victories against the Chicago Hounds and the Toronto Arrows. However, those victories are small consolation prizes in light of the fact that the host team had been on a losing run of three matches prior to those victories, having been defeated by Utah Warriors, Seattle Seawolves, and San Diego Legion. The Houston SaberCats have scored 429 points thus far this season, but they have also allowed 359 points to be scored against them. In the current rankings of the Western Conference for Major League Rugby, the Houston SaberCats are currently in the third slot.

The match between Old Glory DC and NOLA Gold that concluded 15-28 last weekend was the one that broke a winless streak of three. In the game, the first half finished with a score of 8-18. Esekia Iona was the leading scorer for NOLA Gold, tallying 8 points. For Old Glory DC, Lasaqa, Souchon, Daireaux, and Diaz Bonilla were the players who stood out the most in the first half. Despite this, Old Glory DC was able to secure the victory with a 7-10 victory in the second half. Only two of Old Glory DC's most recent five matches resulted in victories for the team; the other three were losses, with the exception of a tie with Toronto Arrows.

We anticipate a close game in which both teams will play to the best of their abilities. On the other hand, things might not go well for Old Glory DC as they are performing away from home. In the meantime, the SaberCats made it two wins in a row last weekend, so we anticipate that they will be performing at their highest level once more. Therefore, a wager on the Houston SaberCats to win and a wager on 'over' are both viable options to take into consideration.
