TEAMS PREVIEW

Telugu Titans Preview

Telugu Titans are coming on the back off two consecutive losses with their latest being a 26-33, 7 point loss against  U Mumba, a game where both the Titans raiders struggled to break Mumba's defense and the Titans defensive unit also were bit lack lustre. 

The Titans have the best raiding duo in their ranks this season with Bharat Hooda (141 raid points) and Vijay Malik (122 raid points). Both these raiders have been real match-winners for the Titans and are the primary offensive players. The Titans are averaging a staggering 24 raid points per game in the last four matches and have scored 40 or more points in three of the last four. 

On the defensive end, it's been an absolutely chaotic dominance from the Titans, where they have tackled and pinned down the opponent raiders with absolute disdain. Though none of their defenders are listed in the top 15 defenders, the Titans have put on a collective effort. Shubham Shinde (35 tackle points), Ankit (34 tackle points), and Ajit Pawar (27 tackle points) have been the backbone of the Titans' defense.

Puneri Paltan Preview

Puneri Paltan are in impeccable form and are looking unstoppable at the moment. The Paltan won each of their last five matches with complete dominance, with their latest being a 57-33, 22-point win over the Jaipur Pink Panthers. This win has secured the Paltan a top-two spot.

With two games left in the league stages, the Paltan might test their bench strength, where their main players are expected to be rested, and raiders Mohit Goyat and Sachin Tanwar might get some valuable playing time ahead of the playoffs.

On the defensive end, Dadaso Pujari might come in place of Gaurav Khatri in the right corner, while the rest of the defense is likely to remain intact. The Paltan are the number one ranked defensive team this season, averaging 12 tackle points per game.

TELT vs PUNP
Winning Prediction

The odds are heavily in favour of Puneri Paltan to win this match. They have been unstoppable and hard to topple on both ends of the mat, while the Titans, eyeing a top-four finish, will look to bounce back from their back-to-back losses. We back the Titans to win this match against the odds.
