Lucknow Super Giants vs Kolkata Knight Riders prediction

We have a clash between the two teams that sit ninth and tenth in the Indian Premier League table ahead of this weekend with LSG sitting just above KKR.

The Lucknow Super Giants come into this one on the back of a 40-run hammering at the hands of Rajasthan Royals, succumbing to a fourth successive loss after being bundled out for 119.

KKR, on the other hand, have won a game fewer than LSG with one win, five defeats and a no result so far. Their most recent outing saw them pull off their first win of the campaign with a shock four-wicket win against the aforementioned Rajasthan.

KKR will take confidence from that with impressive knocks from Anukul Roy and Rinku Singh in the middle order so, siding with momentum, backing an away win seems the way to go for this one.
