England faces Scotland in the Calcutta Cup, aiming to build on their recent victory in the Six Nations.

England is gearing up to face Scotland in the highly anticipated Calcutta Cup match on February 22, 2025, at Twickenham Stadium. This encounter marks the 143rd meeting between the two teams, with England historically leading with 76 wins compared to Scotland`s 47. England`s head coach, Steve Borthwick, has retained the same starting lineup that secured a thrilling 26-25 victory over France, ending a seven-game losing streak against them. Ollie Chessum will be a key player to watch, while George Martin is set to provide support from the bench.

Scotland, aiming to extend their recent dominance in the Calcutta Cup, has won the last four matchups against England. They began the 2025 Six Nations with a solid 31-19 win over Italy but faced a setback with a 32-18 loss to Ireland. Huw Jones leads Scotland`s scoring with 15 points, while Ben White follows closely with 10. The current standings show Ireland leading the tournament with two wins, while England and Scotland each have one win and one loss. Betting odds favor England, with a spread of -8.5, as they look to capitalize on their home advantage.
