Match Prediction

RTW is struggling to find their feet in the tournament. They are yet to find a win this season and will once again be put under tremendous pressure by LKK on Wednesday. With two losses in as many games, Warriors are currently tottering at seventh place in the league standings. LKK on the contrary have made a terrific start to this season and are positioned second in the table. We fancy them to continue their winning run.
