Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings Prediction

Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been runners’ up in three IPL seasons with a star studded squad over the years but, still with Virat Kohli at the top of the order, they appear to be a much smarter side this time around and they sit at the top-of-the-table after ten games of the league stage, coming into this one on the back of three successive victories.

In contrast, the Chennai Super Kings are five-time winners of the IPL and began this season looking as professional and as controlled as ever but CSK have almost completely collapsed with a four-wicket loss to the Punjab Kings the other day being their eighth defeat in nine matches since they were victorious in their opening game of the season.

RCB have an excellent and well-balanced side throughout and there is a reason they’re top and CSK are bottom so siding with the hosts looks the way to go for this one at the Chinnaswamy.
