LSG enter the game high on confidence after a hat-trick of wins in the competition since losing their opening game and will again start as favourites against a beleaguered Capitals who are languishing at the bottom of the points table.
The KL Rahul-led side is at the third position in the table.
The Super Giants are in a fine run of form defending totals comprehensively against Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans in their last three matches. The Delhi side would be looking to avoid a hat-trick of losses after losing to Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians in largely one-sided fashion in their last two matches.
The two teams have met only three times and in all those encounters, the Super Giants have tamed the Capitals.
The last time the two teams faced each other, LSG defeated DC by 50 runs.
