KKR vs. LSG Prediction: On Tuesday, April 8, the Kolkata Knight Riders will play the Lucknow Super Giants at the classic Eden Gardens.

Match Overview
In Indian Premier League 2025 match No. 21, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will play the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the historic Eden Gardens on Tuesday, April 8.
Under new captain Ajinkya Rahane, the current champions’ campaign is currently off to a wild start. After four games, they have two victories and an equal number of defeats. Their wins have been unbalanced, even their heartbreaking losses. The Knights defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 80 runs at home in the most recent game.
In its four IPL 2025 games thus far, Lucknow has also won two and lost two. In their most recent match, they defeated the Mumbai Indians by an exciting 12-run margin at the Wankhede Stadium. After struggling with the bat in each of the four games, Rishabh Pant, the new captain of Lucknow, is under pressure. He would like to recover well against the Knights on Tuesday.

Venue: Eden Gardens, Kolkata

Pitch Report:
Particularly for the chasing side, the Eden Gardens pitch in Kolkata is conducive to batting. The ball bounces better on the dark soil used to make the Eden Gardens surface. Batsmen can score more easily as a result. This surface is suitable for fast bowlers in the beginning, but spinners gain efficiency as the game advances.

KKR vs LSG Prediction: Who Will Win ?
It’s difficult to predict how this match will turn out. Both teams appear to have match-winners. However, KKR is playing at home and has a stronger bowling core, which might tip the scales somewhat in their favor. Lucknow may be in danger if Pant struggles and KKR’s spinners settle into a rhythm.
The Knight Riders have everything they need to turn their house into a stronghold, and that is what they want to do. Although the defending champions have a little advantage in this important match, LSG has the potential to surprise the KKR team.
