The last head to head meeting between the sides ended in Chennai losing. The game was a bit one sided as Lucknow batted and bowled very well. Both these sides are close to each other in the standings. I feel the odds for Lucknow are good here and if Pooran and Rahul play well, Channai would be in trouble.

Rajasthan Royals are at the top of the table and they will most likely qualify now as they have lost just once this season. They are under no pressure. Mumbai Indians have won three and lost four but their form is really good as they have won three out of the last four games. Mumbai players are the best this season and they can win this one.

Chelsea have been in good form . They lost their last game against Manchester City but just by a goal and before that they had thrashed Everton by six goals to nil. Arsenal won their last game played which was against Wolves but this would not be easy game for Arsenal to win.
