Today's PKL Match Prediction

While the Thalaivas are looking settled in the attack, their defense is still looking shaky. Barring Surjeet Singh and Sagar, other defenders failed to open their accounts in the previous match.

UP Yoddha has been working decently in attack. However, Pardeep Narwal's form is still a cause of concern for them. They are still making unforced errors in defense and will have to tighten it up quickly.

Prediction: UP Yoddha are expected to win this contest.
