Scotland will head to the capital city of Suva to face Fiji on July 12, 2025, as the mid-year internationals continue. The Thistles are coming away from a mixed outing in the Six Nations, while the Flying Fijians have a similar record heading into this game.

The home team would be looking to overturn a 57-17 drubbing at Murrayfield last November, and to also improve a 1-4 record in recent head-to-heads. Scotland vs Fiji betting odds are also live as both teams chase a win.

Scotland Current Form - WLLWL

Scotland ended fourth in the 2025 Six Nations, claiming two wins to counter their three losses. This has contributed to a growing reputation for having solid teams but consistent struggles to make this count in matches.

Their campaign started strongly enough with a 31-19 win over Italy in February, before back-to-back losses against Ireland (18-32) and a nail-biting 15-16 defeat against England, which could have shaped their season entirely differently.

The Thistles bounced back with a 35-29 win over Wales and then ended the series with a 16-35 hammering by eventual champions France. The seventh ranked team in the world would be looking to add to their win tally and reliable bookmakers for betting are watching with interest.

Fiji Current Form - LWWLL

Fiji have a record of three wins and two losses from their recent international matches, serving as a testament to their bruising physicality and sheer pace.

In November 2024, the Flying Fijians played four matches with mixed results: the series began with the 57-17 loss to Scotland before a narrow 24-19 win against Wales. Fiji claimed a second victory against Spain by 33 points to 19, but were then simply outclassed by Ireland in a 52-17 drubbing.

On July 6, Fiji also suffered a narrow loss to Australia. Two wins in five internationals is a dubious record and the shadow of that loss to Scotland will likely be looming overhead.
