Lucknow Super Giants Preview: Back-to-back defences
Lucknow Super Giants’ batters have set big targets now in each of their last two games and both times, the bowlers have managed to hold their nerve and defend it. A 12-run win over Lucknow Super Giants was followed up by a four-run defence of 238 against reigning champions Kolkata Knight Riders
Gujarat Titans Preview: Four in a row
Gujarat Titans’ 58-run thrashing of Rajasthan Royals was their fourth consecutive victory and cements their place at the top of the league stage table currently. Consistently excellent with both bat and ball, this has all the makings of a potentially special season for the Titans under Shubman Gill’s captaincy.
Lucknow Super Giants Betting Analysis
Focusing on Lucknow’s batters would be the smart move here when considering the volume of runs they have accumulated recently. No player has hit more runs so far in the 2025 IPL than Nicholas Pooran, who is currently playing at an extremely high level for Lucknow. With 288 runs so far, back the West Indies star to add on with another 30+ runs on this occasion.
Gujarat Titans Betting Analysis
Whilst Pooran is the highest runscorer in the 2025 IPL at present, a big innings here from Gujarat’s Sai Sudharsan could see the 23-year-old overtake him. Sudharsan boasts 273 runs to his name and is coming off the back of having registered 82 not out against Rajasthan. Consider a stake on Sudharsan to top score here for Gujarat.
Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans Expert Prediction
This is a tough encounter to predict when taking into account just how hot Lucknow Super Giants currently are on the batting front. They have the raw power through the likes of Pooran and Aiden Markram to really test Gujarat Titans, but this is an in-form bowling attack, who won’t wilt in the face of punishment.
The Titans are hot themselves on the batting front though and are the better all-round side. Therefore, despite the risk posed by Lucknow’s power, back Gujarat to take the victory.
