The two star-studded units of the Pro Kabaddi 2019, Telugu Titans and Patna Pirates will lock horns with each other in Match No. 98 of the seventh season. Patna Pirates had defeated Telugu Titans in front of their home fans earlier this season, hence Abozar Mighani's men will look to avenge that loss.
Talking about the last matches of the two teams, Patna Pirates had crushed Puneri Paltan by 22 points thanks to Pardeep Narwal and Neeraj Kumar's heroics whereas the Telugu Titans had suffered an eight-point defeat at the hands of table-toppers Dabang Delhi K.C.
In the previous meeting between the two teams, Pardeep Narwal's 7 raid points and Jaideep's High 5 had helped Patna defeat the home team, Titans by 12 points.
If the three-time champions win this contest, they will climb to the 8th position on the standings. In case Telugu Titans win the match by a big margin, they can move up to the 9th position.
