The 39th Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2023 match will see the Bengaluru Bulls taking on the Telugu Titans on Sunday, December 24, in Chennai.
This season has been a poor one for the Bengaluru Bulls this far. They have only managed to win two matches, crashing to five defeats. The Bulls have failed to be up to the mark consistently.
The Titans finally registered their maiden PKL 10 win in their last match after suffering defeats in all of their first five games. Yet, they remain at the bottom of the table.
As two teams desperate for a win go up against each other, it is expected to be a nail-biting contest. Ahead of the same, let's look at the head-to-head record between BLR and TEL in PKL:
Bengaluru Bulls vs Telugu Titans head-to-head record in PKL
Bengaluru Bulls and Telugu Titans have faced each other 21 times in the Pro Kabaddi League. The Bulls have an impressive record against the Titans. They have dominated their southern neighbors, beating them 14 times out of these 21 meetings.
The Titans have only managed to defeat the Bulls three times. Four matches between the two sides have ended in a tie. In a dire state, the Bulls will certainly draw confidence looking at their head-to-head record against the Titans.
Telugu Titans, however, will aim for a solid performance against the former PKL champions.
