TEAMS PREVIEW

U.P. Yoddha Preview

After a promising start with two wins, the UP Yoddhas have hit a rough patch, losing their last three matches. Their most recent defeat was a significant 29-41 loss to the Jaipur Pink Panthers, a game where both their offense and defense struggled.

The Yoddhas' offensive performance hasn't met expectations. While Gagan Gowda has been a standout, scoring 62 raid points and achieving four Super 10s in five matches, the team lacks a strong second raider. Guman Singh, their second-best raider, has managed only 19 raid points across the same five matches, which has been a major issue for the team's raiding unit.

Defensively, the Yoddhas are struggling, averaging just 8 tackle points per game. Sumit Sangwan is the team's leading defender with 19 tackle points. However, he's received minimal support, as none of the other defenders are averaging even two tackle points per game. This lack of a cohesive and effective defensive unit has been a key factor in their recent losses.

UP Yoddhas Probable Starting 7: Gagan Gowda, Guman Singh, Bhavani Rajput, Ashu Singh, Mahender Singh, Sumit Sangwan, Hitesh

Bengal Warriors Preview

The Bengal Warriors' poor run of form continues, as they have now lost their fourth consecutive game this season. Their latest defeat, a 46-36 loss against the Tamil Thalaivas, highlighted a key issue for the team: a lack of defensive stability despite a strong offensive performance.

On the offensive end, they have been impressive. Their skipper, Devank Dalal, is the season's leading raider with 76 raid points in just five matches. The team as a whole is the top-ranked offensive side, averaging 25.2 raid points per game.

However, their defense has been a significant weakness. The Bengal Warriors are ranked last defensively, averaging just 8 tackle points per game and having inflicted only six all-outs this season. Ashish Malik, with 11 tackle points, is the sole defender to have scored more than 10 tackle points, underscoring the team's defensive struggles.

Bengal Warriors Probable Starting 7- Devank Dalal, Sandeep Saini, Manjeet, Punit Kumar, Shivansh Thakur, Harander, Ankit
