IPL 2025: Match 70, LSG vs RCB Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between LSG vs RCB?

Lucknow Super Giants take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru in match No. 70 of the ongoing IPL 2025 on Tuesday, May 27, at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.

LSG are already out of the playoff race and would look to finish their campaign on a high with a win against RCB. The Rishabh Pant-led side has won six games and lost seven in IPL 2025. They are coming into this clash on the back of a 33-run win against the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad last week.

RCB, on the other hand, would assure itself a top-two finish with a win on Tuesday. They are currently stationed at No. 3 on the points table, with eight wins and four defeats from 13 games. One of their matches ended without a result. RCB lost their most recent clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad by 42 runs in Lucknow.

This will be the first meeting between RCB and LSG in the 18th edition of the 10-team tournament. While RCB can finish in the top two with a win on Tuesday, LSG will end their campaign at No. 6 if they get two points from the clash.
