Toss Prediction
In recent times, teams after winning the toss at the Eden Gardens have mostly chosen to field first and this has paid off on quite a few occasions. So the toss-winning captain might stick with the general trend of fielding first. This has not been a lucky venue for the KKR as far as toss is concerned; nine losses in their last ten matches. We therefore predict Delhi Daredevils to win the toss in this match.

KKR Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Nathan Coulter-Nile, the match-winner in the game against Royal Challengers Bangalore, was rested for KKR's previous game against the Rising Pune Supergiant as a move to manage the workload of the players. There has been no official confirmation yet from the team management on whether the fast bowler will be continued to be rested for this match or not.
Key Players
Manish Pandey, Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa have shown good form this IPL and the trio will form the backbone of KKR's batting lineup. Gambhir and Uthappa smashed their third fifty of the season in the last game while Pandey's average of 87 is the highest among all the batsmen after Chris Lynn. Chris Woakes was expensive the other night but he is expected to bounce back and return to his wicket-taking ways against the Delhi Darevils. Kuldeep Yadav has been impressive in almost every game he has turned up for KKR and he too will be the key in this bowling attack.
Recent Form
Kolkata Knight Riders have overhauled the Mumbai Indians to become the table-toppers after sealing a comfortable seven-wicket win over Rising Pune Supergiant in the last game. They now have 12 points in the bag with six wins from eight league matches.

DC Team News & Playing 11
Team News
There are no reports of any injured players in the side and the team is unlikely to make a change in their lineup despite facing defeats in the last three games.
Key Players
Opening batsman Sanju Samson is the only centurion in the side and he has scored the most runs for the Delhi Daredevils so far in this IPL. He top-scored with 39 against KKR earlier in the season and the team will back him to score big this time around. Chris Morris and Pat Cummins will be the bowlers to watch out for. While the former is the second-leading wicket-taker with 12 wickets from 6 matches, the latter took two in the last game and as many against KKR in the reverse fixture.
Recent Form
Delhi Daredevils are lagging behind on the points table with two wins and four losses from six league matches they have played so far. After making a promising start to their campaign, it has been a downslide for the Daredevils having faced defeats in their previous three matches.
DD Predicted Playing 11
-
Z Khan (c), SV Samson, AP Tare, KK Nair, SS Iyer, CJ Anderson, RR Pant (wk), K Rabada, CH Morris, PJ Cummins, A Mishra.

KKR vs DD Head to Head
Kolkata Knight Riders have 11 wins while Delhi Daredevils have 7 in the 18 matches that have been played between them in the Indian Premier League. The two teams have squared off six times at the Eden Gardens in the past with the hosts emerging winners on five occasions. KKR pipped the Daredevils by four wickets in their most recent encounter at the latter's home ground earlier in the season.
KKR vs DD Betting Odds
Kolkata Knight Riders will be playing at their fortress - the Eden Gardens - a venue where they have been very hard to beat in recent times. In their last five matches at this ground, they have recorded wins on four occasions which is one of the reasons why bookmakers are showing a lot of confidence in them. 1xbet have the hosts as favorites to win this game at best odds of 1.74 while Delhi Daredevils are outsiders at 2.16. A high price for the visitors was expected due to the sudden decline in their performance graphs and the amount of inexperience they have in their batting lineup.
KKR vs DD Prediction
Three setbacks in a row have put enormous pressure on the Delhi Daredevils to win this game as they just cannot afford another defeat at this stage of the tournament. The team is still reeling the loss against Mumbai Indians as they botched up what seemed to be an easy run-chase. The lack of experience in their batting was exposed and they will have to bat out of their skins against a formidable KKR bowling attack. The hosts have more balance and stability in their side and they have beaten the Daredevils at this ground on previous three occasions. We therefore predict the in-form Kolkata Knight Riders to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Kolkata Knight Riders to beat Delhi Daredevils in the 32nd match of IPL 2017 at 1.74 with 1xbet.
