UP Yoddha will be eyeing a third consecutive win in front of their home fans as they look to rise to third in the standings with another victory. Telugu Titans, on the other hand, lost their last game at the venue and will want to finish their season with a win.

In their last game, UP Yoddha registered their fourth successive win of the season with victory over Puneri Paltan, while Telugu Titans suffered their third successive loss after a huge defeat to Gujarat Fortunegiants.

However, the reverse fixture result will give the Titans some confidence heading into tonight's game as they tied the game with UP Yoddha earlier this season.

After falling short in their last match at the same venue, Telugu Titans will want to give their fans something to cheer about by winning their last game of the season. Their talisman Siddharth Desai will want to get as many points from his final outing of the year, while Rakesh Gowda will also be eager to get amongst the raid points for his side.

Defense needs to step up

Titans will need to produce a much-improved defensive display than their last outing if they are to have any chances of a win. Vishal Bhardwaj has been their top Tackle Points scorer this season and will need to lead their defence with inexperienced individuals like Aakash Arsul and Akash Choudhary likely to feature.
