Bangalore v Chennai predictions

It’s two wins and two losses apiece for Bangalore and Chennai after the opening four rounds of the Indian Premier League, making today’s meeting tough to predict.

Bookmakers certainly share that view with Bangalore narrow favourites to triumph, but this could swing either way.Both sides are laden with match-winners, so it could be worth concentrating on the player markets from a betting perspective.

Bangalore and India superstar Virat Kohli has begun this year’s IPL in blistering fashion, scoring 82 not out, 21, 61 and 50 in his first four innings.

Kohli is a solid 9-4 favourite to top the Royal Challengers’ batting card against Chennai, but taking him to score 28 or more runs at a shade of odds-on could prove a wiser strategy.
