Our Prediction
Gujarat Lions are favourites to win
On the 14th of May, the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore will stage the 44th match of the Indian Premier League 2016. In this match, Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on the Gujarat Lions and will look to move up the points table. It is going to be a crucial match for RCB as they need a win here to keep their chances alive for qualifying for the playoffs. The match is scheduled to begin at 4 PM local time.
Pitch Report and Toss Factor
151, 191, 185, 191 and 227 have been the first innings score (most recent first) at this ground which is sufficient to say that this has been the most beautiful batting surface in this IPL. A total of five games have been played here so far and four have been won by the side batting second. So whichever team wins the toss will certainly want to put the other team into batting first.
Virat Kohli likes chasing and playing at RCB's home ground, it becomes even more important for Gujarat Lions to win the toss.

If Royal Challengers Bangalore Bat First
Predicted score: 175
Despite a rare failure in the previous match, Virat Kohli will be the man for RCB when they come out to bat. He will open the innings with Gayle who seems to be struggling at the moment. AB de Villiers is in good form and Rahul and Watson also have been scoring consistently. Gujarat are likely to open their bowling with Praveen Kumar and Dhawal Kulkarni and if they strike early, the batsmen to follow after de Villiers will have their work cut out. Bravo has been Gujarat's best bowler while Tambe has been hard to score off. If RCB keep wickets in hand, they can later on target Jadeja, Smith and Kaushik to reach the predicted total.

If Gujarat Lions Bat First
Predicted score: 190
They too boast a tremendous batting firepower in Smith, McCullum and Raina at the top and Karthik and Finch as finishers down the order. Bowling has been RCB's weakest department with Watson and Chahal being the only major threat. So the GL openers will try to launch their innings against opening bowlers Binny and Aravind. If RCB fail to take 2-3 wickets in the first ten overs, Gujarat with plenty of ammunition in the lower-middle order should be on track to post a total of around 190. The only thing that can save Bangalore from a thrashing is picking up wickets at regular intervals. Simply going defensive against them won't be enough.
Our Prediction
It's needless to say that Gujarat Lions have been the more consistent of the two teams. They have far more wins and are way ahead of RCB on the points table. While the latter depends solely on their batting strength, the former with an equally strong batting haven't neglected their bowling altogether.
Although Royal Challengers Bangalore are a hard nut to crack on their home ground, we think Gujarat Lions, who won their previous encounter against them at Rajkot, will be the favorites to win again at Bangalore.
