This match presents another opportunity to move a step closer to that dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kabaddiarena.com\/en\/team\/telugu-titans\/\" data-type=\"sp_team\" data-id=\"1704\">Telugu Titans<\/a><\/strong> have already confirmed their place in the <strong>top 8<\/strong>, thanks to a strong performance against <strong>Puneri Paltan<\/strong> in their previous outing. With <strong>9 wins from 16 matches<\/strong>, they are comfortably placed at <strong>3rd position<\/strong> on the points table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, <strong>Gujarat Giants<\/strong> are still in the fight, with <strong>6 wins in 15 matches<\/strong>, currently sitting at the <a href=\"https:\/\/kabaddiarena.com\/en\/table\/pro-kabaddi-points-table-2025-pkl-12\/\" data-type=\"sp_table\" data-id=\"42\"><strong>8th spot<\/strong>.<\/a> They\u2019ve had an impressive turnaround with <strong>4 wins in their last 5 games<\/strong>, keeping their playoff hopes alive.

The dynamic duo has been sensational \u2013 pulling off match-winning performances against <strong>Puneri Paltan<\/strong> and <strong>U Mumba<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both players are currently ranked among the <strong>Top 10 Raiders of the season<\/strong>, and their combination will be vital for Titans in this crucial clash. Their speed, agility, and tactical awareness have made them a nightmare for defenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Mohammadreza Shadloui (<strong>Gujarat Giants<\/strong>)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After a shaky start to the season, <strong>Mohammadreza Shadloui<\/strong> has bounced back in style. The Iranian all-rounder faced criticism early on, but in the second half of PKL 12, he has looked like his old self \u2013 making decisive tackles and contributing in raids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His experience and all-round skills will be key for Gujarat if they want to counter the Titans\u2019 in-form raiders. All eyes will be on Shadloui to lead the Giants from the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Predicted Starting 7s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Telugu Titans:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vijay Malik (C)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bharat Hooda<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shubham Shinde<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ajit Pawar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ankit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avi Duhan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chetan Sahu<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gujarat Giants:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mohammadreza Shadloui<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rakesh<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lucky Sharma<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nitin Panwar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rohit Nandal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Himanshu Singh<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visvanth V<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Expect from This Match?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This match holds huge importance in the context of the PKL 12 playoff race. <strong>Telugu Titans<\/strong> have been consistent, but they have lost a few matches in the <strong>Delhi leg<\/strong>, making this game a must-win to maintain momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>Gujarat Giants<\/strong> seem to have peaked at the right time, with recent wins boosting their confidence. They\u2019ll look to exploit the Titans\u2019 occasional defensive lapses and use their balanced squad to grab a crucial victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fans can expect a tightly contested battle with top-quality raids, fierce tackles, and edge-of-the-seat drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Match Prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Though Telugu Titans are placed higher on the points table, <strong>Gujarat Giants<\/strong> come into this match with better recent form. Considering the Titans\u2019 mixed results in Delhi and the Giants\u2019 surge in momentum, <strong>Gujarat Giants might just have the edge<\/strong> in this encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, with match-winners like Bharat and Vijay in their corner, the Titans can never be counted out.
