Betting Tips

If you look at the current form of both teams, there is little difference between the two and we can expect a close duel. While the Titans are already through, the hosts will have to do their best to advance to the next round. We expect the visitors to give some of their key players a break to keep them fit for the playoffs and that might give RCB a chance to beat them.
