Tamil Thalaivas vs UP Yoddha match preview

Tamil Thalaivas

League Record: L L L W T 

League Position: Zone B, 6^th position

The Tamil Thalaivas will face the UP Yoddha in Match 109 of the Pro Kabaddi league, and these are familiar opponents to the Thalaivas. The previous match between the two resulted in a thrilling victory for the Thalaivas, but the Yoddhas are hoping for revenge. The Thalaivas have run a rocky road so far in their home games, and the Yoddhas will be hoping to pounce on a team low on confidence. 

The last time out, Nitin Tomar and Rishank Devadiga were the stars of the show for the Yoddhas, but Rishank is finding it difficult to maintain consistent form. Nitin Tomar is always a threatening presence, but Amit Hooda and C. Arun should be up to the task. Ajay Thakur will lead the offense against a Yoddhas defence starring a capable Jeeva Kumar. The presence of high-performing rookies Dong Geon Lee and K.Prapanjan will be an encouraging sign to fans before this match.

U.P. Yoddha

League Record: W W L W T

League Position: Zone B, 3^rd position

The U.P. Yoddha will come up against a Thalaivas team that is struggling at home, but the team from U.P. will know better than to take their opponents lightly. The Thalaivas came up against the U.P. Yoddha during a shaky September run, but were victorious in a thrilling game in which they were far from favourites. Nitin Tomar is a dependable raider, but he could lack support from an inconsistent Rishank Devadiga. Rishank can be a terrifying presence on his day, and Thalaivas fans are hoping his performance lacks the Fear Factor. 

Jeeva Kumar is a stable presence in the U.P. Yoddhas defence and his performance will be a decisive factor for U.P. The U.P. Yoddhas team will find a new face in D. Pradap of the Thalaivas. The energetic all-rounder is now emerging as an exciting option for the Thalaivas this season, and will hope to build on his positive performances.
