TEAMS PREVIEW

Gujarat Giants Preview

The Gujarat Giants kicked off their campaign with a solid 36-32 victory over the Bengaluru Bulls. Starting slowly, the Giants gradually picked up momentum as the game progressed. Parteek Dahiya once again shone, scoring 3 raid touch points, 4 bonus points, and 1 tackle point, finishing with 8 points. 

Himanshu also contributed significantly on both offense and defense, scoring 4 raid touch points, 2 tackle points, and 1 raid bonus point. Guman Singh added 6 raid points. Left Corner Sombir stole the show with 6 tackle points, earning his first high 5 of the season. Rohit also contributed 2 tackle points.

However, the Giants' cover region remains a concern, an area they need to address in their upcoming match against U Mumba. U Mumba's raiders are known for their swiftness and running hand touches. Neeraj Kumar is expected to play a crucial role, while Parteek Dahiya continues to be the Giants' key raider.

In terms of statistics, the Giants are averaging 19 raid points and 13 tackle points per game. The Thalaivas, on average, scored 34-36 points per game in the last five matches against U Mumba. This season, Parteek Dahiya is averaging 7 raid points per game, and Sombir is averaging 6 tackle points per game.

Gujarat Giants Probable Starting 7 - Guman Singh, Parteek Dahiya, Rakesh Sangroya, Neeraj Kumar,Rohit, Sombir, Balaji D 

U Mumba Preview

U Mumba gave Dabang Delhi KC a scare early on but were unable to maintain their momentum throughout the game, ultimately losing their season opener 36-28. Amirmohammad Zafardanesh impressed with his agility, scoring 9 raid points (8 raid touch points, 1 bonus) and 2 tackle points, finishing with 11 points. Ajit Chavan, making his PKL debut for U Mumba, achieved a super 10 (7 raid touch points, 3 bonus). Rinku led the defense with 3 tackle points. Surprisingly, U Mumba captain Sunil Kumar failed to register a single tackle point, while Parvesh Bhainswal and Lokesh Ghosaliya each contributed 1 tackle point.

U Mumba's raiding unit is promising, featuring two young raiders with an aggressive approach who consistently aim to score touch or bonus points in each raid. However, their defense, despite being strong, struggled to contain the opposition's raiders. This is an area they need to focus on improving. U Mumba is averaging 20 raid points per game and 7 tackle points per game. Ajit Chavan is averaging 10 raid points per game, while Rinku is averaging 3 tackle points per game.

U Mumba Probable Starting 7 - A Zafardanesh, Ajit Chavan, Rinku, Sunil Kumar, Lokesh Ghosaliya, Rohit, Manjeet

Winning Prediction

Both teams possess strong raiding units, making this match likely to be decided by the defensive performances. Despite an average defensive display against the Bulls, the Gujarat Giants are expected to rebound. While U Mumba's raiding department is talented, they lack versatility and may face challenges at times. Ultimately, we predict a victory for the Gujarat Giants in this fixture.
