SCOTLAND vs WALES GUINNESS SIX NATIONS 2020

HEAD TO HEAD

- Scotland have won two of their last four Six Nations matches against Wales (L2), more than they’d won in their previous 13 Championship meetings (W1, L12); Gregor Townsend’s men will be aiming to record back-to-back wins against Wales in the Six Nations for the first time since 2002-2003.

- Wales have led at halftime in each of their last six visits to BT Murrayfield in the Six Nations, going on to win five of those matches; their only defeat in that run came in 2017 when they lost 29-13 after conceding 20 unanswered second-half points.

- Scotland have scored only six tries in their last seven home games against Wales in the Six Nations, never scoring more than two tries in a game in the process, after scoring exactly three tries in each of their first three games at BT Murrayfield against the Welsh team.

- Four of the last six meetings between Scotland and Wales in the Six Nations have seen a final margin of seven points or fewer, while 10 of their previous 11 encounters in the Championship ended with a double-digit margin.

- Scotland have failed to score a first-half try in eight of their last 10 games against Wales in the Six Nations; however they managed to cross the line for a try during the second-half in seven of those games, including the last six.

COMMON STATISTICS

SCOTLAND vs WALES GUINNESS SIX NATIONS 2020

SCOTLAND STATISTICS

- Scotland conceded just 59 points in their four games at BT Murrayfield in 2020, their average of 14.8 points conceded per game was their third lowest in such matches in a calendar year in the professional era and their lowest since 2011 (14.2, also 13.5 in 2009).

- Scotland enjoyed 62% possession and 58% territory in their win against England in Round 1, no side has enjoyed more possession in a Six Nations match across the last two editions.
