PKL 12: Gujarat Giants vs Haryana Steelers prediction, possible starting 7, head-to-head & free live stream

Both teams ended the PKL 12 Visakhapatnam leg with a tough loss against former champions.

After a day’s break, season 12 of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL 12) resumes with defending champions Haryana Steelers taking on two-time finalists Gujarat Giants. This will be the first time Mohammadreza Shadloui will be taking on Haryana Steelers, with whom he won the title last year.

Things have changed a lot this year. Shadloui hasn’t had a great start to this year, and he will have to overcome a strong Haryana squad.

The defending champions will be without their star raider, Naveen Kumar, who was injured in the last game. It will be an interesting game, and the winner of the contest will impact their performance in the Jaipur leg of PKL 12.

Players to watch out for

Gujarat Giants – Parteek Dahiya

It was a surprise when Parteek Dahiya didn’t feature in the starting seven for Gujarat Giants. Parteek has had very little game time.

Despite that, he made a massive impact in the last game against Dabang Delhi. When someone could dismantle the likes of Fazel Atrachali, Surjeet Singh, and Saurabh Nandal, he could surely trouble Jaideep & Co.

Haryana Steelers – Rahul Sethpal

Rahul Sethal has been a cornerstone of Haryana Steelers‘ journey to the finals in the last two seasons. He has started well this season as well. The results might not have been great, but he has troubled the raiders.

Jaideep would expect his right corner to take up bigger responsibilities and guide the team to victory. He will look to pin down the young raiders of the Giants.

Possible Starting 7

Gujarat Giants – Mohammadreza Shadloui, Aryavardhan Navale, Shubham Kumar, Himanshu, Rakesh, Nitin Panwar, Parteek Dahiya.

Haryana Steelers –  Mayank Saini, Vinay, Shivam Patare, Rahul Sethpal, Rahul Ahri, Neeraj, Jaideep Dahiya.

Match Prediction

Haryana Steelers will start as favourites against the Giants. Vinay in the offence and Jaideep in the defence will lead the defending champions. The men in orange will have to play out of their skins to beat the Steelers.
