Gujarat Giants vs Dabang Delhi K.C. Match Preview: 

Gujarat Giants started off their season 8 campaign with a victory over Jaipur Pink Panthers by 34-27. However, they lost their next match against the defending champions Bengal Warriors (28-31) and would be eager to win the match against Dabang Delhi KC to get back in rhythm. 

Dabang Delhi KC on the other hand have won both their matches – 41-30 against Puneri Paltan in the first match and U Mumba 31-27 in their second match. Dabang Delhi KC were Pro Kabaddi League season 7’s finalists and this time would be looking to go the distance and lift the trophy. 

Gujarat Giants’ strength became their weakness in the match against Bengal Warriors which they lost. Gujarat’s defence displayed some sloppy moves which weakened their case against the defending champions. Gujarat Giant’s ace raider Mahendra Rajput was a super sub and very well may feature in the starting 7 in the next match.

Dabang Delhi heavily relied on the raiding sensation Naveen Goyat in the last two matches where other Dabangs played supportive roles. This could hurt them if the Gujarat defence manages to send out the Naveen Express early.

Dabang Delhi KC have been carried through to 2 wins by the raiding sensation Naveen Goyat who has now registered Super 10s in 23 Pro Kabaddi League matches, 2 in this season. Other players of Delhi have played a supportive role and if Giants take out Naveen Express early on, Dabang Delhi could find themselves in a spot of bother.
