Today's PKL Match Prediction

Nitin Tomar's form is a massive boost for Puneri Paltan moving forward. Meanwhile, Aslam Inamdar and Mohit Goyat are also contributing decently to the attack. Vishal Bhardwaj had a good last game, but Puneri Paltan are still not looking compact defensively.

At the same time, the raiding trio of the Yoddhas are improving with each passing game, and it is not good news for the opposition.

Moreover, their defensive players are also getting back to their best, and they are more than capable of neutralizing any attack in the league.

Prediction: The Uttar Pradesh-based club are expected to win this fixture.
