Bet on KKR vs RR: Prediction, tips and odds for Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals IPL match today image

The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take on the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the IPL on Thursday, as these two evenly-matched teams compete for a top-four spot on the points table.

While there is not much separating the teams on paper, a quick look at their recent form shows that it is KKR who are the team in the ascendancy right now. 

Here, we take a look at the predictions for this match, and the best odds available in India. You can also bet on all IPL matches with Dafabet.

KKR vs RR match prediction

Both teams have records of 5-6 heading into this one, but while Rajasthan sit higher than Kolkata based on net run rate (NRR), they are in the middle of an incredibly tough stretch, with four of their six losses coming in their last five contests. 

The odds may be tight in the betting market, but KKR come into this one in much better shape, riding a two-game win streak and claiming three of their last five. 

Considering that, the Knight Riders should have what it takes to keep their winning feeling alive and are our pick to come out on top in this one.

KKR vs RR best bet 

  • Pick: KKR to win. 
  • Odds: 1.91 (Dafabet

While both teams currently sit in the middle of the IPL pack, it certainly seems that KKR are on their way up, while RR are headed down the list. 

Looking at the momentum KKR have, it feels like a safe pick that they will take home the win in this one. 

KKR vs RR outside bet 

  • Pick: Any player to score 100 
  • Odds: 9.20 (Dafabet)

This is a bet that rests on the shoulders of one man, and that man is Jos Buttler. 

Buttler is one of the IPL's most elite batsmen, and in 2022 he reached triple-figure runs on four separate occasions. It's long odds for a reason, but if you were ever going to bet for a century, this wouldn't be a bad time to do it.
