In their last matches, the Lucknow Super Giants have only one win, coming against the Rajasthan Royals. However, their last game prior to the league suspension saw this team lose to the Punjab Kings by 37 runs in a 236-199 contest.

However, Sunrisers Hyderabad's most recent game was against Gujarat Titans, which they lost by 38 runs in a 224-186.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Prediction
These are two teams that have faced a lot of disappointing results this season and the focus will be on finishing their season on a good note. However, Lucknow Super Giants have been slightly better as a team, and while the Sunrisers Hyderabad have won two of their last five matches, they will also be a serious competitor in this game. In the meantime, the Lucknow Super Giants at home are well favoured and they definitely deserve it with four wins in the five meetings of this fixture, which show how far ahead they are of the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Yet, their meetings have been very tight and ended with close results and we might witness the same here. Moreover, the chances of Lucknow Super Giants winning here are higher and while the Sunrisers Hyderabad might prove stubborn, a bet on runs at the 1st fall wicket is a good option.
