Patna Pirates continued its search for the first win of the season until the sixth game. After drawing the first match against Puneri, they went on a slump and lost four consecutive games. So far this season, the three-time champions have two victories, four losses, and two ties. The three-time champs haven’t exactly had the greatest of times. However, with 13 points in the last three games, Patna Patna would be very confident in its ability to take down Gujarat.
Lost 35-30 to Jaipur Pink Panthers
Drew 31-31 with Bengaluru Bulls
After winning the last game, Gujarat Giants will be keen to build on its winning momentum. The Giants have won four, lost three and tied one of their games so far and they will be keen to put together a string of victories as they look to occupy the top half of the standings. A lot will depend on Rakesh - their main man in attack - in the upcoming clash as he looks to add to his 96 raid points this season. The likes of Chandran Ranjit (35 raid points) and Parteek Dhaiya (26 raid points) are expected to support Rakesh in attack.

Like Gujarat Giants, Patna Pirates will enter this contest on the back of a win. The three-time champions haven’t had the best of seasons yet with two wins, four losses and two ties so far. They need to start winning more consistently if they want to go beyond the league phase and will hope that both their defence and offence start working in unison soon. Sachin (66 raid points) and Rohit Gulia (62 raid points) have been their biggest attacking threats but they need more support from the rest of their teammates. On the defensive side of things, Sunil, Mohammadreza Chiyaneh and Neeraj Kumar have all made their presence felt with 20, 16 and 12 tackle points respectively.
