\"JPW-Warm-Up-session\"Jalandhar:<\/strong> Jaypee Punjab Warriors and Ranchi Rhinos will face each other for the second time in three days in the Hero Hockey India League on Monday.
 
 
Rhinos had beaten Warriors 2-1 at the later\u2019s home, before the teams played out a 1-1 draw in Ranchi on Saturday. Warriors would be keen to settle the scores before the teams get ready for the knockout stages this weekend. Having beaten by Rhinos at home, Warriors would try everything possible to avoid a repeat at Surjit Singh Hockey Stadium.
 
 
\n
 
Both the teams might have already qualified for the semi-finals, but there is still a lot at stake. There is every chance that these two teams could face each other in one of the two semi-finals on Saturday, and hence, both teams would like took treat this game as the dress rehearsal of the semi-final.
 
 
Had it not been due to Jaap Stockmann\u2019s outstanding performance under the bar on Saturday, Warriors could have easily conceded 4-5 goals against the Rhinos. And that means that the home team\u2019s defence has some scope to improve. \u201cHaving already qualified for the semis allowed us to try out a few different combinations on the field,\u201d Warriors skipper Jamie Dwyer explained after Saturday\u2019s game. Monday\u2019s match gives them another and possibly last opportunity to make a few more experiments before they settle for their final combination for the knockout stage.
 
 
Rhinos played without their influential skipper Rovers, who was ill, on Saturday. The visitors would hope to have him back, as they missed his creativity a lot against the Warriors.
 
 
Warriors created at least four-five penalty corners on Saturday, but despite having drag flickers like Rupinder Pal Singh and Christopher Crielo, were unable to convert even one. That is one thing the Warriors would like to improve upon before the knock-out stages.
 
 
Rhinos played a very aggressive game on Saturday, but were missing that final touch that would have resulted in a goal. They entered the Warriors\u2019 circle on a number of occasions, but had just one goal to show for their efforts. The Rhinos team think tank would like to see their young team to convert a few more opportunities, to give their already solid defence a little more margin for error.
 
 
In the semis, the top team plays fourth placed team, while second placed team clashes with the third placed team. Both these teams would be keen to finish above the fourth placed team, so that they can avoid top side in the semis. That is another aspect, which brings more importance to Monday\u2019s game. 
 
 
Ranchi Rhinos coach Gregg Clark will go for victory this time after a tough draw last night. \u201cWe have met Jaypee Punjab Warriors twice and we have got to know many things about them. We drew last match, where we didn\u2019t materialise chances. This time, we will improve our performance and materialise the chances we will get,\u201d Clark stated.
 
 
Jaypee Punjab Warriors captain Jamie Dwyer said that their team have learnt a lot from the previous matches and will use the experience on tomorrow\u2019s match. “It was an interesting last match for us against Ranchi Rhinos. I think the travel and play will take a lot out of Ranchi in the next game. It will hurt them a lot because they do not have enough experience of Jalandhar conditions. It will be good for us to beat them and get the necessary momentum going into the semi-final,” Dwyer added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
