Today's PKL Match Prediction

Sukesh Hegde's current form is a major concern for the Bengal Warriors at the moment. They are over-reliant on Maninder Singh and Mohammad Nabibakhsh. Moreover, their defense has also looked in shackles and failed to deliver so far.

For Dabang Delhi, their cover defenders haven't performed as expected. While Jeeva Kumar has given away too many unnecessary points, Manjeet Chhillar hasn't scored enough tackle points. They will have to regroup in defense to neutralize Maninder Singh.

Prediction: Dabang Delhi are expected to win this game.
