Today's PKL Match Prediction
U Mumba ticked all the boxes against the Panthers in the last game. While their raiding duo of Abhishek Singh and V Ajith breathed fire, Fazel Atrachali & Co. were compact in the defense. They will now look to stay consistent with their performances.
Meanwhile all is not well for UP Yoddhas. They are over-reliant on Pardeep Narwal and their star raider is not getting enough support from the other raiders. Nitesh is yet to find form and needs to get back to his best quickly to arrest UP Yoddha’s slump.
Prediction: UP Yoddha are likely to win this contest.
