Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore both can fathom the consequences of a loss here, as it can have damaging consequences for their playoff dreams. A win on the other hand will take the respective team straight to the third place in the table, just behind one point of Chennai Super Kings (2nd).
RCB won the reverse fixture earlier this season at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Both teams are coming into the tie on the back of a defeat as inconsistency has dented their progress all season. RCB and MI both have big names but the Paltans top guns have struggled to perform this season.
Keeping all things in mind, it looks like Mumbai Indians have an upperhand due to their home support and may hold the advantage in this tie.
Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore have met 31 times in IPL's history. Mumbai, who have won the IPL 5 times, have registered 17 wins, while RCB have tasted victory on the other 14 occasions.
