IPL 2025 RCB vs LSG Match Prediction: Who will win today’s match?
IPL 2025 RCB vs LSG Match Prediction: The Royal Challengers Bangalore have secured 8 wins from the 11 matches they have played so far, and one further win can lead them to a secure position in the final 4 in the points table of IPL 2025.
RCB have made it to the consecutive playoffs, and this time, under new skipper Rajat Patidar’s leadership, they have been a team of great domination and skill. Though RCB faced some blows as star opener Phil Salt, Devdutt Padikkal and Josh Hazlewood, all key performers for the IPL Red’s, have been possibly ruled out.
Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, lost their last game as well, and hence, they would look to bounce back in form. LSG played 11 matches and could manage only 10 points as of now, and are still in contention for a playoff spot only under an all-win situation.

IPL 2025 RCB vs LSG Match Prediction: Pitch Report at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow
The Ekana Stadium pitch is known to have black soil pitches, unlike several tracks in North India, as mostly South Indian tracks have been seen with black soil. The black soil can be of some help for spinners Ravi Bishnoi and Digvesh Rathi for the home side, while Krunal Pandya, the leading spinner for RCB, might also find some great grip here. With mild temperatures, cloudy weather and no rain threat, Ekana will be a perfect venue if no unforeseen threatening condition arrives in this part of the nation as well.

Royal Challengers Bangalore have played at the Ekana Stadium only once against the Lucknow Super Giants, a match that ended in a low-scoring thriller with just 126 runs.

IPL 2025 RCB vs LSG Match Prediction: Win Probability
The Royal Challengers Bangalore are just one final step away from securing entry into the playoffs of consecutive IPL seasons. On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants have also played some good cricket and are still in contention for the playoffs.
However, considering recent form and the adaptability to black soil tracks of Chinnaswamy, a similar track at the Ekana on which the LSG vs RCB match will be played, the Rajat Patidar-led side will be dominant over the Super Giants, who have recently lost form, as their batters have not scored runs in recent games.
