The Haryana Steelers (HAR) lock horns with the Gujarat Giants (GUJ) in the 40th match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Thursday, November 7, at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.
The Steelers have started this season decently, winning three out of their five matches so far. But a close 38-40 defeat at the hands of the Bengal Warriorz leaves them looking for a positive result to move back into the top half of the points table.
Meanwhile, the Gujarat Giants' campaign hasn't really gotten going yet. Ram Mehar Singh's side are at the bottom of the PKL 2024 table with one win and four defeats in five outings. They'll be desperate to break their four-game winless streak against the Steelers.

HAR vs GUJ Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 40
Raider - Guman Singh
Guman Singh is the Giants' highest point-scorer this season, with 31 raid points in five matches, and he will be the key if they want to take the game to the Haryana Steelers.
While there are other attractive Dream11 options such as Vinay and Shivam Patare, Guman has that X-factor in him, and is someone you should consider for your teams.
Defender - Rahul Sethpal
With 12 tackle points in five matches, it hasn't exactly been the best of starts to the season for the usually solid Rahul Sethpal on the Haryana right corner. However, with more left raiders to come up against in this match, he has a very good chance of hauling big in this match, especially with the Giants' raiders not in good form.
All-Rounder - Mohammadreza Shadloui
With 12 raid points and 15 tackle points in five matches, Shadloui is well and truly embracing his role as an all-rounder at the Haryana Steelers, and he can only get better from here. His points ceiling is off the charts, and he's a Dream11 must-have irrespective of form or opponent.

HAR vs GUJ Expert Tips for Pro Kabaddi 2024
Given how the two teams have fared so far, it's hard not to back the Steelers to emerge the winners in this game, especially with Mohammadreza Shadloui slowly getting back to full flow, both as a raider and as a defender. He's undoubtedly the best Dream11 option and captaincy pick.
Barring Sombir, no option from Gujarat is one bit reliable, with Guman Singh, Jitender Yadav, and Parteek Dahiya all capable of producing sizeable Dream11 hauls.
Captaincy-wise, Shadloui is at the top of the list, with Rahul Sethpal, Vinay, and Sombir the other candidates.
