TEAMS PREVIEW

Telugu Titans Preview

Telugu Titans bounced back in style after back-to-back losses against Bengal Warriors and U Mumba, securing a 40-31 win over Puneri Paltan and becoming the third team to qualify for the playoffs this season. However, the job is not done yet for the Titans, as they need to win their next two matches to maintain their spot in the top four, with three other teams aiming for a top-four finish.

Bharat Hooda has been sensational for the Telugu Titans throughout the season in the raiding department, accumulating 150 raid points in 16 matches and recording 7 Super 10s, along with one High 5 in defense. Their skipper, Vijay Malik, has so far picked up 132 raid points, with the Titans averaging 21 raid points per game.

On the defensive end, despite recent lapses in a couple of games, they have been reasonably solid, averaging 11.13 tackle points per game—the fourth-best defensive unit—led by Shubham Shinde, who has 40 tackle points in 16 matches.

Gujarat Giants Preview

The Gujarat Giants, after playing below-average Kabaddi for most of the season, are now making a strong case for the 8th spot, having won four of their last five matches. Their most recent victory came against the Tamil Thalaivas, with a final scoreline of 42-35.

In the absence of Rakesh Sangroya due to injury, Himanshu Singh has taken over as the primary raider, scoring 24 raid points in the last two matches and recording two Super 10s. The rest of the raiders have contributed collectively, scoring around 8–10 raid points.

On the defensive end, Mohammadreza Shadloui has made a significant impact with his impeccable ankle holds and blocks in the last three matches. The other defenders have also performed well, with the Giants averaging 11 tackle points per game. This is a crucial game for the Giants, more so than for the Titans, so expect them to come out all guns blazing.

TELT vs GG
Winning Prediction

The Telugu Titans enter this contest as the favourites to win. The Titans have a stronger raiding unit than the Giants, and the pressure is significantly higher on the Giants, as this is a must-win game for them to stay alive. We expect them to struggle against the might of the Titans.
