The head-to-head doesn’t paint a pretty picture if you are a Kolkata fan.

The last five meetings between the teams have seen Chennai win four times.
Chennai vs Kolkata prediction for Indian T20 League 2022
With new players and revamped squads for both teams heading into the new campaign, picking an outright winner from this fixture isn’t straightforward. However, Chennai’s squad boasts experienced names who have been a part of the Tamil Nadu-based franchise for some time now, meaning they will take less time to gel with their new teammates. With that in mind, Chennai will have a slight edge and are likely to claim maximum points on Saturday.
