Royal Challengers Bengaluru will look to confirm their top four spot in the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) while knocking out Lucknow Super Giants when they meet on Thursday. This match at the Ekana Cricket Stadium between the 10th-placed LSG and the 2nd-placed RCB comes with our prediction of an away win.
Lucknow’s four points (W2, L7) see them stay bottom of the standings and at least two points behind every other side. Bengaluru have 12 points (W6, L3) and have the same points as three teams below them but are one point behind leaders Punjab. The standings are correct as of 4th May.
Lucknow lost a high-scoring game by six wickets to Mumbai on Monday. Their bowlers have failed to complement Nicholas Pooran's return to form (63 off 21), with four of them conceding 11.80 runs or more per over.
None of the LSG batsmen are in the top 20 scorers of the season, while Prince Yadav (13 wickets) remains among the top 12 wicket-takers.
Bengaluru lost by four wickets to the Gujarat Titans on Thursday, with only Devdutt Padikkal (40 off 24) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (3 for 28) impressing. Virat Kohli (379 runs) remains RCB’s best batsman, while Bhuvneshwar (17 wickets) continues to lead the bowlers' list.
RCB haven’t dominated on the road, winning and losing two games each this IPL season.

Our Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Prediction
A four-wicket loss to the Gujarat Titans halted RCB’s run of four wins in five matches prior, but they had one week to recalibrate. With the top spot still up for grabs, a win here will more or less confirm a top four finish while putting them in line for a top two spot. Lucknow are marooned at the bottom of the standings and could be theoretically knocked out with a defeat here.
Bengaluru’s record against Lucknow could continue here, and our Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru prediction is Royal Challengers Bengaluru wins.
