Ospreys v London Irish Heineken Cup Odds: Home Advantage to Prevail in Pool 3 Clash

This Pool 3 Ospreys v London Irish Heineken Cup, second round match at the Liberty Stadium looks to have the potential to be the match of the weekend, with both teams coming into it with action packed sides. Bet365 Bookmakers has the home team clear 4/11 odds on favourites however to win the match, with ‘Irish’ at 11/5.

Magners League champions, Ospreys who boast a team full of international talent, will be eager to redress the balance in the Pool 3 table after losing to the boot of Johnny Wilkinson and a Paul Sackey try away in Toulon last week. The Welsh side went down by 14-19 and know that nothing other than a win in this match will do, otherwise they will struggle to qualify. To win however, they will have to break down a highly drilled defensive ‘Irish’ team who held off a stern and aggressive attack from Munster last week, winning the match against the odds, by 23-17, with fly half, Ryan Lamb, in great form.

2010/11 Heineken Cup Odds Comparison

Ospreys winger, Shane Williams scored a cracking opportunist try which at least earned his side a bonus point, but the wing wizard will need to be even sharper this week if he is to score another. He and fellow winger, Tommy Bowe have been made 9/1 joint favourites by Bet365 to score the opening try in the game, who also list London Irish wing pair of Joseph and Tagicakibau at 12/1 in the same market.

Ospreys have made it to the quarter finals for the last three seasons and with the team they have at their disposal, know that they are capable of going even further this time around. ‘Irish’ can therefore expect to be attacked from the off, with the Welsh team looking to bring their wingers into play early in the game. ‘Irish’ Coach, Tony Booth, will undoubtedly fully expect this, which is why he will rely on solid defence, with the boot of lamb, playing a significant role in counter attacking.

We think that home advantage, which is so often the deciding factor in the Heineken Cup, will be enough to see an Ospreys victory, but we also think, that it will be a close affair, with both sides perhaps picking up bonus points. We take the Ospreys to win by 6-10 points which can be backed with bet365 with odds of 9/2.
