Saturday preview

Supporting Edinburgh and the Cheetahs on the handicap looks the best betting approach to the five-match Pro14 card.

Edinburgh get a seven-point start at Cardiff Arms Park despite opening up their campaign with an easy 50-15 win over Zebre while their hosts have had to jet back from Port Elizabeth where they only scraped a 31-27 success over the Southern Kings.

The Blues sneaked last season's meeting at Murrayfield 19-17 and Edinburgh won on the road at Glasgow and Scarlets last term and picked up losing bonuses at Ulster, Ospreys, Dragons and Kings.
Last season, Cardiff won only four of ten league home games by seven points or more.

The Cheetahs are taken to give up four and a half points to Ulster.
The Bloemfontein boys bashed up last May's runners-up Glasgow 48-14 at the Toyota Stadium last Friday to build on their domestic Currie Cup triumph and it may be hard for Ulster to maintain the zip of their easy Belfast win over Ospreys down in South Africa.
