Wallabies vs. British & Irish Lions Game 3 Predictions
—
Best Bet
The Lions pulled off an incredible comeback to win in the 80th minute last week, and although both games have been close so far, we expect them to score a comfortable win to end the Lions Tour of Australia.
Their scrum is far superior to that of Australia, and almost every scrum in the second half resulted in a penalty or free kick to the Lions. That’s unlikely to change on Saturday, so the Wallabies will need to ensure that it’s a fast game with limited stoppages.
However, the Lions are the better team, and their back line is starting to impress. They might have left it late last week, but the Wallabies defence opened up on multiple occasions, and we expect the Lions to take advantage and post a 3-0 series win.
Most of the money has come for Australia to cover the +7.5 spread, but this could be the most one-sided game of the tour.

Same Game Multi
Dan Sheehan and Huw Jones are worth including in your rugby same game multi bets. Sheehan has played well during the tour, which is why he’s the $2.20 favourite to score a try for the British & Irish Lions.
We expect the Lions forward pack to dominate, which should allow the Lions’ backs to take advantage. That includes Scottish centre Jones, who could power his way through the tired Australian defence late in the game. Punters get $2.80 for Jones to score, which is an excellent price.
Over 41.5 points is an excellent line. They combined for 55 points last week and 46 points in the first test, so we thought the line would be higher. With the series all parceled up, we expect Australia and the Lions to play open rugby.

Best Value Bet
The Lions have every chance to score a dominant win at Accor Stadium, so we’re snapping up the value odds for a 15+ win.
They might have only narrowly won last week, but they dominated the second half, and they could start much better in the third test.
Getting $3.45 is a generous price with Lions Tour odds, so back the visitors to send a message to the struggling Wallabies.
