URC 2025/26 – Round 1 Predictions

27 September 2025

14:00 Vodacom Bulls v Ospreys (Loftus Versfeld Stadium)
Bulls win 80%
Sports4Cast: Bulls 85%
Altitude + Loftus fortress; Bulls overwhelming favourites.

16:05 Zebre Parma v Edinburgh (Stadio Lanfranchi)
Edinburgh win 65%
Sports4Cast: Edinburgh 75%
Zebre at home keep it closer, but models still side with Edinburgh.

18:30 Scarlets v Munster (Parc Y Scarlets)
Munster win 65%
Sports4Cast: Munster 49%
Munster have the edge, but Scarlets at home can trouble them.

20:45 Cardiff v Emirates Lions (Cardiff Arms Park)
Cardiff win 55%
Sports4Cast: Cardiff 59%
Bookmakers and predictors see this as one of the tightest games; Cardiff’s surface/home edge just tips it.

20:45 Connacht v Benetton (Dexcom Stadium)
Connacht win 55%
Sports4Cast: Connacht 63%
Another near coin flip; Dexcom Stadium weather/home edge balances Benetton’s rise.
