They'd played six games and were 4-for-4. With only two losses, they are now second on the table. In their most recent game, LSG had defeated the Mumbai Indians.

Royal Challengers Bangalore, on the other hand, has been impressive in this competition thus far. They had also won four of the six matches they had taken part in.

They had two losses and are currently third in the standings. With a small margin of victory, RCB defeated Delhi Capitals in the previous game. It's going to be a great match because both teams are playing so well at the moment.

Due to being a well-known team in the IPL and a robust track record, we're backing RCB in our IPL prediction.

Lucknow Super Giants

LSG has a powerful batting order that is playing well in the IPL 2022 competition. Lucknow's batting order is led by international T20 specialists like KL Rahul, de Kock, Manish Pandey, Stoinis, Deepak Hooda, and Krunal Pandya. It was against Mumbai that they racked up 199 runs in just 20 overs.

Almost all of their batters scored for their team. In IPL 2022, KL Rahul was the most successful player to achieve a century for the first time. A total of 103 runs were scored by him and he remained unbeaten until the finish of the innings. On the other end of the bat, he hit nine boundaries and five massive sixes in 60 balls. 

The bat of Manish Pandey was equally impressive. During his inning, he racked up 38 runs and hit six home homers. Deepak Hooda got 15 runs while de Kock amassed 24. As previously said, the LSG batting order is quite strong, making it difficult for the bowling staff of any team to contain them.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

After losing to the Punjab Kings in their first IPL 2022 match, RCB went on to win two games in a row. Faf du Plessis, a South African batsman, has replaced Virat Kohli as the team's seventh captain. The fans will rely on his broad knowledge to satisfy their desire for an elusive IPL title.

Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, Prabhudessai, Shahbaz Ahmed, Karthik, and Anuj Rawat lead a strong and seasoned RCB batting order. They had a good performance in the last game, scoring 189 runs in 20 overs for the visitors. 

In spite of a poor start from their top and middle batting order and an excellent performance from the bottom half of their lineup, they still managed to post a respectable score.

LSG vs RCB 2022 Predictions

Two of the best teams in the league will go head-to-head in this season's biggest matchup. There have been four wins and two losses for both LSG and RCB this season. Both teams have had a similar record of wins and losses. 

However, having a three-time IPL runner-up title seems like RCB is most likely to win the upcoming game against LSG.

During the IPL 2022 auction, LSG gave their all by acquiring top players such as KL Rahul, Jason Holder, Krunal Pandya, Manish Pandey, and Quinton de Kock. 

The team’s strength lies in the bowling department where they have bowlers from almost every spectrum. As for the batting department, LSG has de Kock and Rahul.
