Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings Prediction: Challengers to keep their run intact

M. Chinnaswamy Stadium will host this IPL game between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings. The two teams will eye a victory in this game following a win in their last encounters. Which side gets the maximum points here?

Royal Challengers Bengaluru made it five consecutive victories the last time out against Delhi Capitals, securing a big 187-140 win. In the meantime, this side's prior games to that victory saw them defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad, Gujarat Titans twice, and Punjab Kings. Despite those strong performances, this side had a poor season start, and they have only been able to muster 12 points this season from 13 matches, positioning them 6th in the IPL standings. 

Chennai Super Kings are off a win over the Rajasthan Royals last weekend, securing a 145-141 victory. In the meantime, this side has been inconsistent lately, with defeats in two of their previous five games to Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings. However, they were able to defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings in that same run. Chennai Super Kings have accumulated 14 points this season from 13 league games, positioning them 6th in the league standing. 

Chennai Super Kings have failed to win consecutive matches lately, and I can not trust them in this game. On the other hand, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru are more consistent, in hot form, and have shown character in recent encounters. This should be a very close outcome, but the hosts, Challengers Bengaluru, have my backing.
