U.P. Yoddha vs Tamil Thalaivas Match Preview: 

U.P. Yoddha started as tournament favourites but have gone downhill since. With 1 win, 2 losses & 2 tied matches in 5 games, UP are currently placed on the 8th spot with 13 match points. The last two encounters of UP Yoddha have ended in a tie. 

Tamil Thalaivas are just 1 match point ahead of UP Yoddha in the points table, with 1 win, 1 loss & 3 tied matches! Thalaivas would be looking to hold their nerves and clinch the match in the dying minutes.

UP Yoddhas would be hoping for their star raider Pardeep Narwal to overcome his horrid outing against U Mumba. UP Captain Nitesh has till now failed to support his corner partner Sumit Sangwan, who is single-handedly carrying the UP defence. 

Tamil Thalaivas included their vice-captain K Prapanjan in the matchday squad and very well may return to Starting 7. He has been sitting out since their second match.
