A battle between 04th placed UP versus 02nd placed Puneri will take place in this 10th week of the Indian Kabaddi league and it will be the night's second match between these two heavyweight sides.

Puneri stands in the second spot in the Indian Kabaddi League 2022 and they won four out of 5 of their last fixtures. They won their last match game against Patna, who currently sit in the 10th place in the table, Paltan won that match against Patna by 44-30 in their previous encounter with a margin of 14 points. Puneri will be trying to look to continue their winning ways against 4th placed UP in tonight's match to reach the top of the table of the Indian Kabaddi League 2022 and overtake Jaipur, who sits at the top of the chart.

UP is currently standing in fourth place in the Indian Kabaddi League 2022, they won three matches out of the last 5 league matches and lost two matches out of those played matches, the side also lost their last match to a strong side Tamil by 43-28 with a gap of 15 points. Yoddhas will look to get back to winning ways as every loss from here will minimize their chances of making it to the next round of the competition. They will be looking to win this match and overtake the 03rd placed Bengaluru in the points table to reduce the gap between them before the semifinal.

Puneri has played 21 matches in the Indian Kabaddi league 2022 so far, in which they have won 14 matches, lost 05 matches, and shared points in two matches.

Key Players

PUN: All-rounder Reza Mirbagheri should be full of confidence after his High-5 in the previous game against Patna. Mirbagheri has a much higher points ceiling when compared to V Ajith Kumar, the other all-round option, and is a solid pick.

UP: Sumit has recorded 51 tackle points from 20 matches and has registered two High 5s in the process. He put up 1 tackle point against the Bulls last time around. He will be the key player in the upcoming match against Paltan.

Match Prediction:

The 02nd spot in the Indian Kabaddi League 2022, Puneri looks solid form in recent matches, however, they just lost only one match in the last 6 of their matches and they will be high in confidence to beat UP on Friday's match. Whereas, It is going to be a mouthwatering contest between these two strong sides team and either one of them will have the last laugh. But we predict Puneri as a winner in this match.
