Today’s PKL Match Prediction
Both teams have lost their previous games and will be keen to come back. The form has been almost similar in the last five games, with both sides winning three matches.
The Haryana Steelers have been fairly consistent throughout the season. Meetu Mahender and Vikash Kandola will be their key raiders once again. They appear to be better balanced among the two sides in this contest.
The Bengal Warriors have been dependent on Maninder Singh, which is why they have not been able to put up a consistent showing this season. He will have to find support from the rest of the players if they want to beat Haryana.
This could be an interesting game; Haryana are likely to get over the line.
