Gujarat Giants are struggling in the bottom half of the points table as they currently sit 11th with five wins and seven losses from 13 games. Meanwhile, the Bengaluru Bulls continue to rule at the top of the points table with nine wins and four losses in 14 games.

Gujarat Giants have suddenly lost their way after a bright start to the tournament. They have won only once in their previous five matches, including a 32-33 loss against the Haryana Steelers in a low-scoring thriller. They have a challenging task ahead as they face the table toppers Bengaluru in their upcoming match.

The Bengaluru Bulls are the runaway favorites at the moment to finish as the table toppers. They are coming off three consecutive wins, including a massive 49-38 win against the Telugu Titans in a high-scoring game. They will look to continue their winning streak against a weaker Gujarat side.

Gujarat Giants vs Bengaluru Bulls Today PKL Match Prediction

Chandran Ranjit was the star for Gujarat Giants in their previous match against Haryana Steelers, scoring eight points in the game. However, he lacked contributions from other players as Gujarat fell short by the barest of margins. The skipper will need more support from other players as they take on a strong Bengaluru side in their next match.

As far as the Bengaluru Bulls are concerned, they have played as a combined unit this season. The raiding duo of Bharat and Neeraj Narwal were instrumental in their previous victory against Telugu Titans, scoring an impressive 17 and 13 points, respectively. They got brilliant support from Aman in the defense, who registered an impressive high five in the game.

Prediction: Bengaluru Bulls are favorites to win this match.
