Today's PKL Match Prediction
The Telugu Titans are failing to close out matches despite being ahead in the game for the majority of the time. In the first game, they let the Thalaivas come back, and the script didn't change against Puneri Paltan as well.
Siddharth Desai is not getting any support in the attack, and it is a significant issue for the Titans to resolve.
Meanwhile, the Haryana Steelers have so far failed to hold on to their nerves at crucial times. The raiders and defenders have done well, but they have also been guilty of giving away unnecessary points at the wrong time.
If the Steelers can work on their naive mistakes, they will go back with their first win of the season.
Prediction: Haryana Steelers are expected to win this game.
