TEAMS PREVIEW

Jaipur Pink Panthers Preview

Jaipur Pink Panthers are coming off a 33-57, 24 point loss against the Puneri Paltan in the last match. The Panthers have now lost each of their last four matches and have a tough four match stretch coming up, where they need at least three wins in those four matches to stay in the top 8. 

The Pink Panthers had a strong outing on offense, where Ali Samadi stepped up, scoring 52 raid points in the last five matches, while Sahil has also been good, scoring 15 raid points. The form of these raiders will give a boost as their main raider is expected to suit up in the remaining six matches.

When it comes to the defense of the Pink Panthers, they have been really solid, averaging 9 tackle points per game in the last five. Aryan Kumar with 32 tackle points and Deepanshu Khatri with 26 tackle points, are the top two defenders for the Pink Panthers this season, while left cover defender Reza Mirbagheri has also been effective with 26 tackle points.

U.P. Yoddha Preview

UP Yoddhas head into this contest on the back off a 26-53, 27 point loss in the hands of the Haryana Steelers, this loss almost puts the Yoddhas chances of making it to the top 8 to bay. With two matches left in the season the maximum they can reach is 16 points, despite reaching 16 points their recent losses have pegged their score differential to a huge extent. 

The Yoddhas' raiders have been mediocre in the last three matches scoring 53 raid points and Guman Singh has been at his best, scoring 24 of those raid points. While there is a bit of concern about the recent form of Gagan Gowda, he is expected to bounce back in this must-win game, and Bhavani Rajput, with his experience, has been impactful.

On the defensive end, the Yoddhas' defense is still not at its 100% best but has shown improvement from the earlier games, scoring 32 tackle points in the last three matches. Right Corner Hitesh, who has struggled for most of the season, is making an impact in the last three matches, where he has scored 14 tackle points.

JPP vs UPY
Winning Prediction

The odds are in favour of the UP Yoddhas to win the match. Despite their recent losses, the Yoddhas are still a formidable side and will be up against an out-of-form Jaipur Pink Panthers team. We are backing the UP Yoddhas to win this must-win game and keep their playoff hopes alive.
