PKL 12: UP Yoddhas vs Puneri Paltan prediction, possible starting 7, head-to-head & free live stream

Both teams would want to finish the Vizag leg with a win.

UP Yoddhas will face Puneri Paltan in match 26 of Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12). Puneri are coming from a shocker of a defeat against the Patna Pirates.

Puneri substituted many players in the last match; at one point, they changed all seven players. Ayan Lohchab destroyed them with his career-best performance.

The season 10 champions would want to erase the memory of the game and start afresh against UP Yoddhas. Despite a spirited performance, Yoddhas ended on the wrong side of the result against Haryana Steelers. The Yoddhas would be eager to fine-tune their performance to ensure they win games.

Players to watch out for

UP Yoddhas – Bhavani Rajput

Some players perform their best while playing for certain teams. UP Yoddhas are one such team for Bhavani Rajput.

He produced his best performance of his PKL career last year, crossing the 100 raid points in a season for the first time. The Yoddhas decided to retain him and have continued his good run. He will have a task cut out against a strong Paltan defensive unit.

Puneri Paltan – Aslam Inamdar

Aslam Inamdar loves to lead from the front, and the season 10 champions desperately need such a performance against the Yoddhas. After two consecutive defeats, Aslam will enter this match with the intention of winning.

Puneri Paltan needs some inspiration, and no one could do that job better than the skipper himself. A win against a strong Yoddhas side will boost their confidence.

Possible starting 7

UP Yoddhas – Sumit Sangwan, Gagan Gowda, Mahender Singh, Guman Singh, Ashu Singh, Bhavani Rajput, Hitesh.

Puneri Paltan – Gaurav Khatri, Aslam Inamdar, Abinesh Nadarajan, Aditya Shinde, Gurdeep Sangwan, Pankaj Mohite, Vishal Bharadwaj.

Match Prediction

Yoddhas have looked compact and clinical with their performances so far. They will look to build on the slight loss of form of the Puneri Paltan. If Puneri can shrug off the results of the last two games, they can win it with ease. But the Yoddhas are the favourites to win this contest.
