Kolkata Knight Riders will hope to take advantage of Rajasthan Royals’ poor form and stay alive in the IPL 2025 playoff race as the sides clash on Sunday. This match at the Eden Gardens comes with our prediction of a KKR win.
After 50 matches of the campaign, KKR are seventh in the table with nine points (W4, L5, NR1). They are still three points away from breaking into the top four. The Royals are eighth with six points (W3, L8) and are eliminated from the playoffs race.
KKR edged out Delhi Capitals by 14 runs in their last match on Tuesday to stay alive in the competition. They can still hope to move up the table but need a consistent run, as that result over Delhi was their first victory in four matches.
Even playing at Eden Gardens hasn’t worked in their favour lately, as KKR have lost their two recent completed games here.
The Royals were eliminated from the competition after a humiliating 100-run defeat at the hands of the Mumbai Indians on Friday. That defeat at home was their sixth loss in seven recent matches, and all that’s left now is to play for pride.
When the sides earlier met in Guwahati this season, KKR won by eight wickets with Quinton de Kock (97*) playing a classy knock.

Our Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals Prediction
After a humiliating loss to the Mumbai Indians, the Rajasthan Royals are out of the playoffs race. KKR are only marginally clinging on to their chances, and a defeat here would complicate their chances, although not eliminating them. The stakes are high for the home team, and they can’t take things for granted, as they are winless here for three matches, the last of which was abandoned due to rain. Yet, Kolkata are likely to take advantage of Rajasthan’s poor form, and our Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals prediction is Kolkata Knight Riders wins the match.
