The IPL 2024 season kicked off with the defending champions triumphing over Royal Challengers Bangalore in the opener on Friday night. In the upcoming fourth match, Rajasthan Royals are set to clash with Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday.
Lucknow Super Giants will look to overcome their eliminator jinx this time. The spotlight will be on KL Rahul’s performance and recovery as he returns from a quadriceps injury that sidelined him for the last four Tests against England. Having undergone thigh surgery and a subsequent four-month absence last year, Rahul’s fitness will be crucial to Lucknow’s campaign this year.
RR boasts a formidable batting lineup featuring the in-form Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, and captain Sanju Samson. LSG, on the other hand, will rely on Quinton de Kock, Marcus Stoinis, and Nicholas Pooran for the bulk of runs.
In the three matches played between Rajasthan and Lucknow, the former have emerged victorious in two of the matches. Their dominance is further bolstered by their impressive track record at the venue of the match.

RR vs LSG Match 4 Prediction
Although Lucknow boasts a formidable batting lineup, their bowling unit hasn’t been as strong. On the other hand, the Rajasthan Royals possess not just a very good batting lineup, but also a quality spin attack, which is advantageous on this surface. With the home crowd support behind them, the Royals are the favourites to win this match.
