Bengal Warriors v Gujarat Giants Prediction:

Bengal Warriors will start as favourites to win this match against Gujarat Giants. Captain Maninder Singh is the most valuable player on the Bengal side, beyond doubt. Even though he looked a bit off-colour, he still finished the last game with 7 raid points. 

The right-sided raider will be directly involved in a mini-battle with Gujarat’s left corner Girish Ernak. The former Puneri Paltan captain had a stellar Gujarat Giants debut against Jaipur Pink Panthers. Girish wrecked Jaipur’s attack scoring seven tackle points and looks in great touch.
