IPL 2025 RR vs KKR Match Prediction: Who will win today’s match? KKR’s playoff on the line as they advance to the Eden Gardens
RR vs KKR Match Prediction: The Kolkata Knight Riders are not out of the race to the playoffs, as they are now standing in a position where they cannot afford any further marginal errors. They can still reach 17 points with a win in their remaining matches, as they are currently standing at no. 7 with 9 points.
The defending champions are in their attempt to restore some honour, with two of their matches to be played at the Eden Gardens. KKR marked a stunning win in their last game against the Delhi Capitals, as many of their players hit prime form.
The Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, come from a humiliating defeat against the Mumbai Indians on their own home ground. Young Suryavanshi has scored a hundred, followed by a golden duck and will be looking for a comeback in this game, same for Yashasvi Jaiswal.

RR vs KKR Match Prediction: Pitch Report at Eden Gardens
The pitch at Eden Gardens has been reported to be used where several cracks have developed around the stumps. The pitch is considered drier, and it largely assists spin bowling to a huge extent. The last few weeks in Kolkata have undergone severe storms, and hence the city is going through a cool patch. The game is highly anticipated to be interrupted by rain.
RR vs KKR Match Prediction: Head-to-Head record

RR vs KKR Match Prediction: Win Probability
The Rajasthan Royals come with a great bunch of spinners as likes of Hasaranga and Theekshana will find it suitable on the slower track of Kolkata. Even Parag has tried his hand at the ball in recent games. On the other hand, KKR have advanced after a great win against the Capitals and would look to dominate on their home ground as they look to avoid any further losses to remain in the race for the playoffs.
