IPL 2025 Match 26 LSG vs GT Match Prediction Who Will Win the Match?

LSG and GT will begin their double-header Saturday in IPL 2025 when they meet at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. The competition between these two teams takes place during Match No. 26 on April 12.
Through the leadership of Rishabh Pant, Lucknow Super Giants have established a solid foundation with their three victorious matches from five games this season. LSG enters the match feeling enthusiastic after winning by four runs at Eden Gardens against the defending champions, Kolkata Knight Riders.
Gujarat Titans stand as the unbeatable team of the season thus far. Gujarat Titans followed their opening match defeat with four consecutive wins after Punjab Kings beat them in the initial game. The defeat at the hands of Rajasthan Royals, along with their 58-run loss at the Ahmedabad Stadium, has not affected GT's premier positioning, although they aim to regain their winning form.
