Puneri Paltan vs Bengal Warriors Match Prediction
Bengal Warriors have played like a combined unit so far. Maninder Singh, along with Nitin Kumar and Shrikant Jadhav, has led the raiding unit of the team, while Shubham Shinde has been instrumental in the defense.
Meanwhile, the defensive unit of the Puneri Paltan looked clueless while facing an in-form Vinay, who notched up 15 raid points in their previous game. Aslam Inamdar and Mohit Goyat will be hoping for some support from their defenders in the next game.
Prediction: Bengal Warriors are expected to win the match.
