U.P. Yoddha vs Dabang Delhi K.C. Match Preview: 

U.P. Yoddha has till now failed to stand on the expectations in this season despite having the likes of Pardeep Narwal, Shrikant Jadhav and Nitesh Kumar. The UP-based franchise is sitting on the 10th spot in the points table with 14 points from six matches. 

Last season’s runners-up Dabang Delhi K.C. are the only unbeaten side in the Pro Kabaddi League season 8 till now. The Delhi-based franchise is sitting in the second spot on the points table with four wins & 2 ties in 6 matches. 

Delhi’s coach Krishan Kumar Hooda’s biggest concern would be the team’s defence department. Ace veteran defenders Jeeva Kumar and Manjeet Chillar, who are PKL legends, have failed to perform to their potential this season.

UP’s defender duo of captain Nitesh Kumar and Sumit Sangwan failed to register a single tackle point in their previous encounter against Tamil Thalaivas. Coach Jasveer Singh may replace one of them with Shrikant Jadhav who hasn’t been a part of starting 7 for a while.

U.P. Yoddha vs Dabang Delhi K.C. Head-to-Head: 

Even though Dabang Delhi revamped themselves in the past few seasons, UP Yoddha still have dominated this opposition. Delhi managed their only win against UP in their PKL season 7 campaign.

U.P. Yoddha vs Dabang Delhi K.C. Prediction:

Dabang Delhi K.C. is expected to win this match against U.P. Yoddha.

The battle of two main raiders of these teams may decide the outcome of this match. Delhi’s Naveen Kumar is enjoying the form of his life, thrashing every opponent on his way. 

UP’s Pardeep Narwal on the other hand seems to be taking some time to settle in his new franchise. Even though he averages 7 raid points per match, he has set the bar so high that this seems like an underperformance.
