UP Yoddha vs Gujarat Giants Match Preview: 

Inconsistence in the raiding department would be the biggest cause of concern for UP Yoddha gaffer Jasveer Singh. Surender Gill stepped after scoring the first Super 10 of his career, against Jaipur Pink Panthers. 

UP Yoddha’s Rohit Tomar who came through the franchise’s youth setup has displayed 3 impressive cameos in the same no. of matches. Coach Jasveer may reward the youngster by placing him in the starting 7 for this match, replacing Shrikant Jadav who unfortunately for UP Yoddha has been out of form.

Gujarat Giants played to their strength in the last match against undefeated Dabang Delhi KC and managed to obtain a 24-24 tie. Giants’ captain Sunil Kumar registered his first tackle point of the season after going pointless in 2 matches and went on to collect 4 points in the match.

Gujarat’s coach Manpreet may give thought to resting one of their 4 first-choice defenders as a part of the rotation and bring in Sumit Malik or Hadi Oshtorak from the bench

UP Yoddha vs Gujarat Giants Head-to-Head: 

These two sides are considered as the best franchises among the late entrants in Pro Kabaddi League. UP Yoddha have qualified for the playoffs since they have joined PKL.

On the other hand, Gujarat is the only franchise to play two finals in their first two seasons after U Mumba. Giants defeated Yoddha both times in the 6th season and also lead the head-to-head account against them.

UP Yoddha vs Gujarat Giants Prediction:

Gujarat Giants will start off as favourites to win this match against UP Yoddha.

Pardeep Narwal had a rather forgettable outing against Jaipur Pink Panthers where he was successfully tackled 5 times, scoring just 3 raid points. Left Raider Narwal will directly face a challenge from ‘The Hawk’ Ravinder Pahal position-wise. 

Veteran defender Ravinder Pahal has aggression similar to Pardeep Narwal’s and has a lot of experience as well as playing against the star-raider.
