An interesting prediction indeed, as per the current form and the quality of the players in both teams, Rajasthan edge past the Royal Challengers. Although it is just slightly tilted in the favour of RCB, it is mostly due them playing in the home ground and the experience of their bowlers to bowl in the heavily batter friendly conditions. It is a ground where the bowlers have very slight margin for error and with Jason Holder not in the best of form, RR might struggle a bit with the middle and death overs bowling. It is also applicable to their middle over batting which hasn't been as explosive due to Davdutt Padikkal and Riyan Parag not yet delivering this season. Although if Jos Buttler finds his rhythm, this slight gap will get covered no sooner.
