South Africa vs. Wales Odds: Back The Springboks to secure the series with a win

The final of our Test rugby previews sees Wales try to recreate their own historic victory last week, by winning a Test series on South African soil for the first time in their history.

Wales scraped through with a 13-12 victory against a heavily changed South African side, but that won’t matter for all they care. South Africa have responded again by ringing the changes, with 10 coming into the starting XV, in what many would consider to be their strongest lineup. Siya Kolisi is back in to captain the side, with Eben Etzebeth winning his 100th cap for his country. Handre Pollard retains the 10 jersey, with the rest of the squad made up of South Africa’s form players.

For Wales, there’s just one enforced change to their starting lineup, with Josh Adams coming onto the wing to replace the injured Alex Cuthbert, a move which sees Owen Watkin take his spot on the bench.

We got a tasty 4/1 winner in this fixture last week, so we’ll look to replicate that with our two bets today.

First off, we’re starting with Lukhanyo Am to score a try during the game, best priced with SpreadEx at 3/1. Am is well loved around the world, and is rightly recognised as one of the top players in the game. Looking on social media, many South Africans attributed last week’s loss to the fact that Am wasn’t playing, and they’ll look to change that this weekend.

He’s only scored five international tries, but two of them have come in the last 12 months, and expect the South Africans to have a stormer on Saturday.

Next up, we’re looking to South Africa to win by 11-15 points. Although Wales were able to secure a win last weekend, I can’t see anything but a comfortable home win this time round, and wrapping up the series win.

This hasn’t landed in any of the Springboks’ recent wins, but I expect them to put on a show for the home crowd, and send them home happy and with momentum before next year’s World Cup.

As ever, best of luck if you’re following these bets, and please gamble responsibly.
