U.P. Yoddha Preview

The UP Yoddhas who had one of their best seasons in their PKL Journey last season where they finished the league stage at third place with 13 wins, 6 losses and 3 draws in 22 matches bowed out of the title race in the 1st semi final clash against the Haryana Steelers losing 28-25. 

The Yoddhas have retained their raiding trio of Bhavani Rajput, Gagan Gowda and Surender Gill. Gagan Gowda was the stand out last season with 145 raid points in 18 matches, he worked well in tandem with Bhavani Rajput who scored 151 raid points in 22 matches. 

On the defensive end the Yoddhas remain unchanged with Sahul Kumar on the left corner and Sumit Sangwan on the right. While Mahender Singh and Ashu Singh in chain at the cover region. It is going to be a herculean task for the Telugu Titans defense to tackle the Yoddhas raiding trio. 

UP Yoddhas Probable Starting 7: Bhavani Rajput, Gagan Gowda, Surender Gill, Sumit, Ashu Singh, Mahender Singh, Sahul Kumar. 

TELT vs UPY
Winning Prediction

The U.P. Yoddhas are the favorites to win this match. The Titans were lackluster in their raiding department, with their secondary and third raiders unable to score raid points at crucial moments. Meanwhile, the U.P. Yoddhas have the best raiding unit, which will be difficult to tackle. This is the main reason we are backing the U.P. Yoddhas to win this match.
