Today's PKL Match Prediction
With Sukesh Hegde back in form, the Bengal Warriors look deadly in the attack. However, they are still slippery in their defense. If the defenders fail to raise their game, it would be difficult for them to stop the Yoddha's raiding trio.
UP Yoddha are threatening in attack. Surender Gill, Pardeep Narwal and Shrikant Jadhav are making the right moves in the raiding department. With Nitesh Kumar back among the points, their defense is also looking settled now.
Prediction: UP Yoddha to win.
