Both the Dragons and Rudras are currently sitting fourth and fifth in the standings with 17 and 15 points respectively. A win in this crucial encounter would guarantee the victor a spot in the semi-finals. However, for UP, the task is a bit more challenging, as they are two points behind both Tamil Nadu and third-placed Soorma Hockey Club, who have 17 points.
The UP Rudras are coming off a disappointing 1-3 loss to Hyderabad Toofans, while Tamil Nadu are also looking to recover from a 2-4 defeat to the Gonasikas. Both teams will be eager to bounce back and get back to winning ways in this must win match.
