The Puneri Paltan will take on the Gujarat Giants in the 33rd match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Monday, November 4, at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad. The Paltan have continued to dominate the PKL from last year and look set to launch a successful bid for a title defense this season. They will enter this match fresh off a 35-28 win over rivals U Mumba. They sit comfortably atop the points table as of now.
Meanwhile, their opponents, the Gujarat Giants, sit at the opposite end of the spectrum and are placed 11th, with only one win in four matches. They've suffered a hat-trick of defeats, the most recent one being a 44-25 drubbing at the hands of the Tamil Thalaivas.

PUN vs GUJ Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 33
Raider - Mohit Goyat
With 33 raid points and nine tackle points in six matches, Mohit Goyat is the highest individual point-scorer for the Paltan this season. The left side of the defense has been Gujarat's weakness, and the left-raiding Mohit Goyat could wreak havoc in that department, also escaping from the clutches of the in-form Sombir.
He's certainly a Dream11 must-have as he's a better pick than the inconsistent and unreliable Gujarat alternatives.
Defender - Gaurav Khatri
Who else apart from Gaurav Khatri in defense? The right-corner has been playing on another level this season and comes into this match on the back of a seven-tackle point haul against U Mumba. He's six points clear of the second-best defender, scoring 28 tackle points in six matches, and there's a good chance he will score another High 5 tonight.
All-Rounder - Aslam Inamdar
Aslam Inamdar was the catalyst in Paltan's win over U Mumba, with his strong raiding early in the match setting the tone for a dominant performance from his side. A world-class raider with a penchant for well-timed tackles, his points potential is immense. He's a Dream11 must-have and is easily the best all-rounder.

PUN vs GUJ Expert Tips for Pro Kabaddi 2024
It's hard to imagine this match as anything but a Puneri Paltan victory. Such is the mismatch between the two teams at this point. It's going to be hard to find a Dream11 team that doesn't have five players from the Paltan. That's how good they have been.
Gaurav Khatri could have a field day in defense and so could Mohit Goyat and Aslam Inamdar, who returned to form with a stellar outing against U Mumba. Sombir has been Gujarat's best player and is a must-have. Guman Singh and Parteek Dahiya are strong differentials but it's a huge question whether their performances will be up to the mark.
