The British and Irish Lions clash with Australia in the second Test of their three-match series against the Wallabies on Saturday. Andy Farrell's side will aim to secure a second consecutive victory over the hosts after a first-Test win in Brisbane. Let's take you through our prediction for the match.

Andy Farrell wouldn't have asked for a better start at the reins of the British and Irish Lions as head coach after the dramatic first-Test victory over Australia in his first Test match in charge. The Lions won 17-5 at the break, and held on to win by eight points despite losing 14-10 in the second half. 

Notably, this result marked their sixth straight victory. They defeated First Nations & Pasifika XV 24-19 in their last match and will aim to maintain this winning momentum on Saturday. 

Australia recorded their third defeat in four Test matches following the loss in Brisbane. Now trailing 1-0 in the series against the Lions, the World No.6 have their pride on the line heading into this match and will look to avenge the defeat.

They have remained competitive despite  their late struggles, with two of their last three defeats having been by single digits. Their last two home defeats have also been by single digits. Hence, our tip for the spread.
