Bengal Warriors will square off against the Gujarat Giants in the 111th match of the Pro Kabaddi League 2023. Netaji Indoor Stadium in Kolkata will host this exciting encounter on Friday, February 9.
After three losses on the trot, the Bengal Warriors returned to winning ways with a comfortable 45-38 win over the home team, Dabang Delhi KC, in their previous outing.
The Maninder Singh-led side will be hoping for some change in fortunes ahead of their home leg, as they are currently placed ninth in the points table with 44 points, having won seven of their 17 games so far.
Gujarat Giants, on the other hand, will be looking to be more consistent in their remaining games in the league stages, as they have won just twice in their previous five games.
Following a dominating 42-30 victory over the Tamil Thalaivas, the Fazel Atrachali-led side have moved to fifth place in the points table with 55 points, having won 10 of their 18 games so far.

Bengal Warriors vs Gujarat Giants Match Prediction
The raiding duo of Nitin Kumar and Maninder Singh were instrumental in the Warriors' victory against the Dabang Delhi KC, as the pair notched up 13 and 11 raid points, respectively. However, the defensive unit needs to step up if they wish to start their home leg on a positive note.
In the Giants' previous encounter, Rakesh Sungroya single-handedly destroyed the defensive unit of the Tamil Thalaivas as he scored an impressive 14 raid points in the game. He received brilliant support from Sombir in defence, who registered an impressive high five.
Gujarat Giants look like a more balanced side in both departments, and they will back themselves to beat the home side in their next fixture.
Prediction: Gujarat Giants to win the match.
