Telugu Titans Preview

Telugu Titans are coming off a 31-28 loss against the Gujarat Giants in their last match, a game which was well within the grasp of the Titans with the scores tied at 27 apiece and two minutes left in the game and the Giants with three men on the mat pulled of a super tackle on Vijay Malik which gave them the two point lead and the Titan's couldn't cover the deficit in the final minute resulting in them losing their fifth game of the season. 

In this game Vijay Malik with 15 raid points (7 raid touch, 7 raid bonus & 1 tackle) scored half of the Titans points, Ashish Narwal with seven riad points (6 touch & 1 bonus). Both these raiders combinedly scored 22 raid points, but their defense led them down by scoring only six tackle points and a tackle efficiency of 30%. The Titans will once again face off against U Mumba for the second time this season and they will look to employ the same strategy as they did the last time by slowing the pace of the game and playing on their defensive strengths, not taking much risks and looking for raid bonus points. 

This season, the Titans have averaged 33.3 points per game and conceded 34.16 points per game. Their raiding unit averages 20.38 raid points per game, the second-best in the season, while their defense is averaging 9 tackle points per game. Vijay Malik, with 93 raid points, is the leading raider among active players, and Sagar Sethpal, with 28 tackle points, is the top defender for the Titans.

Telugu Titans Probable Starting 7 - Vijay Malik, Ashish Narwal, Manjeet, Sagar Sethpal, Ajit Pawar, Shankar Gadai, Ankit

UMUM vs TELT
Winning Prediction

The Telugu Titans, despite their recent loss, are poised to bounce back against U Mumba. Their defensive prowess, led by their experienced defenders, can stifle Mumba's raiding attack. Vijay Malik and Ashish Narwal, the Titans' raiding duo, will need to maintain their consistency. By slowing the pace of the game and capitalizing on Mumba's defensive lapses, the Titans will secure a crucial victory.
