PUN vs DEL Dream11 prediction: Today's match predicted playing 7s for Puneri Paltan vs Dabang Delhi KC Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 102

The Puneri Paltan and Dabang Delhi KC square off in the 102nd match of PKL 11 on Monday, December 9, at the Balewadi Sports Complex in Pune.

The Paltan have had a tough time since Aslam Inamdar's injury, and while their terrific start to the season has given them leeway for a few bad results, they're at a position now where they can't afford any more such outings. They've lost four of their last five matches and that includes a narrow 33-36 defeat at the hands of the UP Yoddhas last time out.

Meanwhile, Dabang Delhi KC tied with the same UP Yoddhas in their previous outing and are well-placed at 6th on the points table, with a win in tonight's fixture likely to take them to as high as third. With the reverse fixture ending in a tie, Delhi will want to register a win this time around.

PUN vs DEL Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 102

Raider - Ashu Malik

Ashu Malik has been a class apart when compared to most raiders this season. His consistency can't be matched by any of the other Dream11 raiding options, not even teammate Naveen Kumar, who is, however, slowly returning to full form himself.

Ashu scored a whopping 17 raid points in the reverse fixture, and with him the second-best raider in PKL 11, it makes sense to call him a must-have for this one.

---

Defender - Yogesh

It's a huge call to name Yogesh the Dream11 must-have defender when the likes of Gaurav Khatri and Aman are present in the same category. But the latters' poor form, combined with the risk of early substitutions, just puts Yogesh in a higher rung, with the Delhi right corner proving to be much more consistent as an option.

With 47 tackle points in 15 outings, he has continued to impress for his team and against not the most confident Pune raiding unit, he'll look to leave his mark.

---

All-Rounder - Abinesh Nadarajan

Arguably the most consistent and reliable Pune Dream11 option, right-cover Abinesh Nadarajan will be the lynchpin for his defense tonight. The kind of day he has could determine whether the Paltan will emerge winners as he'll be directly up against Ashu Malik and Naveen Kumar (both right raiders).

He definitely has the opportunity to haul big on Dream11 tonight for his backers.

PUN vs DEL Expert Tips for Pro Kabaddi 2024

The Paltan definitely have the personnel to deal plenty of damage to Delhi in this fixture but the frequent early substitutions and lack of consistency in their performances are concerning for those looking to back their assets on Dream11. In comparison, Delhi is much better in that regard, with the likes of Ashu Malik and Yogesh, the most reliable picks in the league.

Captaincy-wise, Ashu Malik and Yogesh are the standouts while any option from the Paltan carries the risk of them having an off-day and getting substituted out early on. However, this should be a close game and selecting more than four players from one team could be risky.
