IPL 17: RR vs LSG Betting Preview

Rajasthan Royals

Having narrowly missed out on the playoffs with a fifth placed finish in 2023, Rajasthan will be eager to make amends in 2024. However, they’ll have a steep task ahead of them with the loss of Adam Zampa recently, and Jos Buttler potentially unavailable in the post-season. They do have an in-form Yashasvi Jaiswal in their batting line up and some quality spinners, but will likely miss having a genuinely great all-rounder.

Lucknow Super Giants

Lucknow have impressed since entering the IPL, finishing third in 2023 before gassing out against Mumbai in the Eliminator Final. This year, it’s a new coach, and they’ll be hoping to go one step further. Questions hang over captain KL Rahul’s fitness, however, as well as their general ability with the new ball, given the lack of an out-and-out fast bowler in the squad.

IPL 2024 RR vs LSG Prediction

Here’s what you’ve been waiting for: our 2024 IPL RR – LSG betting tips. We say Rajasthan will win this one, though it should be a brilliant match to watch although we don’t see any of the team as the potential IPL 2024 Winner in our season prediction.

The Royals are typically a brilliant first-half-of-the-season team, winning four of their first five in 2023 before fading late. Jos Buttler inevitably scores big runs, and a relaxed Trent Boult could well rip through some wickets. Combine these with the likes of Jaiswal and Yuzvendra Chahal, and Rajasthan have a formidable team.

Other than a simple outright winner wager that will net you 1.72 (8/11), we suggest betting on Buttler to be Royal’s top batter at 3.75 (11/4). There’s also a great chance that this goes down to the wire, and Lucknow covers the +3.5 wicket/+5.5 run handicap, making that a great wager at 1.90 (10/11).
