Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Prediction
Lucknow Super Giants are running into Royal Challengers Bengaluru at a bad time when taking into account the incredible form of the visitors. With four consecutive victories under their belts, RCB have hit form at the perfect time and not only look a good bet for a play-off place, but also for a top two finish and the right to play in the first qualifier.
If there’s a team in prime position to take advantage of Lucknow’s recent struggles then it’s RCB. They’ll need to bowl well to keep quiet the big batting powerhouses on the side of Lucknow, but the way RCB are playing so far, they are a good bet to do just that. Back the red-hot visitors to continue their impressive streak.
