Today's PKL Match Prediction

Plenty of problems have surfaced for UP Yoddha this season. While Pardeep Narwal's inconsistent form is letting them down in the attack, their feared duo of Nitesh and Sumit has been disappointing in the defence.

At the same time, everything is working for Dabang Delhi so far, and they look the most balanced side of the tournament. However, they are only playing on the brilliance of Naveen Kumar, and if any team can keep the young stalwart in check, Dabang Delhi could get into trouble.

Prediction: Dabang Delhi are expected to win this match
