UP vs GUJ Dream11 : U.P. Yoddha look to break into the top 7 for the first time this season today

At the halfway mark of the seventh season of Pro Kabaddi League, U.P. Yoddha were outlined as one side for whom this season was going to be a horrid outing. Be it in defence or attack, the side were struggling to salvage wins, succumbing to harrowing defeats courtesy of some terrible displays.

However akin to last season when a sensational late surge saw the side turnover a dismal first half, PKL 7 looks to playing out the same script for the side. The raiding facet has been relentlessly resurgent over the course of the last two weeks for the side, convulsing with the defensive setup to conjointly guide the side all the way to seventh place ahead of today’s impending encounter.

Beginning  a new week in the land of PKL 7 as we slowly start traversing towards the closing stages of the league stage matches, I.P. Yoddha now stand with a chance of breaching the top 6 for the first time this season. With the side level on points U Mumba, a win today would see them climb into sixth place, a position previously unimaginable for the outfit.

Elsewhere for their opponents, today’s match is all about displacing U.P. Yoddha from seventh place. For last year’s finalists Gujarat Fortunegiants, the season has been similar to U.P Yoddha with the side seeing a midway recovery keep their chances alive of reserving their spot in the coveted top 6 after blundering and going on a successive 5 match losing spree.

UP vs GUJ Match Prediction

Traditionally, this has been one of the most one-sided clashes in the league with Gujarat Fortunegiants having a 100% record in this contest. Out of the four matches played between the two sides, U.P. Yoddha have failed to win a single one with the three wins for Gujarat while the one has ended in a draw.

With U.P. Yoddha coming into this encounter with a win in their kitty while Gujarat were only able to salvage a draw, we see U.P. Yoddha winning this one. Not only is it due to their current form but the raiding facet as well, a segment which looks ruthless at the moment.

UP vs GUJ Dream11 Defenders

While the raiders have been indomitable for U.P. Yoddha, the defence deserves immense plaudits for the side’s rejuvenation as well. Building a sublime and illustrious framework of success, the backline has been in exemplary form, putting in ankle holds and thigh holds articulately to quell and oust raiders with ease.

This sees us bring in a duo from the side, two names who have conjointly been extremely effective in imbedding the arm-chain tackles as well. With 35 tackle points, Nitesh Kumar as the second highest points for his side in defence, becoming our first from the side along with Ashu Singh.

The biggest reason perhaps for Gujarat Fortunegiants going on such a slump this season has been their defensive setup. One of the stringiest backlines in the league, the defenders have fallen apart n unison to leave the side famished when it comes to picking up defensive points.

Despite this, Sunil Kumar has picked up 35 points till now and we’ll be selecting him from the side for this fixture. 

UP vs GUJ Dream11 All-Rounders

Gujarat’s leading raider with an immense 67 raid points in 13 matches makes a foray into the fray of our side. His toe touches, kicks and firkis have left defences in angst, making stopping him a qualm due to his speed and ability to jump over the defenders.

At a time when Monu Goyat has been in horrifying for, Srikhhant Jadhav has upped the ante, using the nous of his innate raiding abilities to register an incredible 72 points for his side.
