Puneri Paltan were defeated in their last game against Patna Pirates by 26-38 and would be itching to register a win. 

Tamil Thalaivas have already played 2 tied matches this season. The team didn’t lack in performance in both the match but failed to keep their nerves at crucial moments. Thalaivas’ vice-captain K Prapanjan may find his way back to the starting 7, after missing out in the last game.

Puneri Paltan coach Anup Kumar would be going through a tough decision-making phase to decide the starting 7. Promising young talent Mohit Goyat may get to make his first start in his Pro Kabaddi League career after producing great cameos in the past matches.

Tamil Thalaivas vs Puneri Paltan Prediction:

In this game between bottom-of-the-table positioned teams, Tamil Thalaivas will start off as favourites to win this match against Puneri Paltan.

Until recently, Surjeet was captaining the Puneri Paltan side from the front. He’ll be hoping to make that this outing against his former side turns out memorable. Surjeet has scored 10 tackle points in the season so far.

Surjeet will have the challenge of Puneri Paltan attack in front of him and should expect surprise raiding packages from coach Anup Kumar’s side. We may get to witness Aslam Inamdar and Mohit Goyat in much more important roles from now on.
