With two back-to-back wins, RCB have been brilliant in their last two games, with their latest win coming against Gujarat.
The side will aim to complete the double victory against them. On the other hand, Gujarat Titans, with four wins and six losses, sit at eighth place in the standings with eight points in 10 matches.
After losing their last game to RCB and two back-to-back losses, Gujarat will aim to get back to winning ways.
A lot can change in a short time in the IPL. This time last year, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans squared off at the Chinnaswamy Stadium under very different circumstances.
The Titans were toppers and were already in the playoffs. RCB was a win away from making it four straight years in the final four, their fate very much at home, which as it turned out was not the best place it could be.
Snap to the present and Saturday's contest is one between teams placed eighth and tenth. While the qualification flame hasn't been doused for either team, progress from here is now a function of several variables, including form. In that regard, RCB are slightly better placed with two wins on the bounce and a clearer game plan involving front-loading their overseas batters/all-rounders.
A third straight win and a double over the Titans will lift Faf du Plessis' side from the points-table floor, where they've spent the majority of this season.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT) have played only 4 IPL matches against each other so far. Bengaluru has won 2 of those as Titan has also won 2 matches so far. At the Bengaluru pitch, RCB takes the lead over GT by 1-0.
