UP vs GUJ: UP Yoddha will be up against Gujarat Giants in the 20th match of the Pro Kabaddi League PKL 8 on Wednesday, 29th December at the Sheraton Grand Bengaluru Whitefield Hotel and Convention Centre, Bengaluru.
UP Yoddha have performed poorly so far this season given their depth and strength in the lineup. The Yoddhas see themselves placed at the seventh spot in the PKL 8 points table with one win and two losses. They suffered a close defeat in their most recent encounter against Jaipur Pink Panthers 32-29 and are now in desperate need of a win in order to climb up the charts.
On the other hand, Gujarat Giants have had a rollercoaster journey so far in PKL 8 as they find themselves standing at the sixth spot in the points table having collected nine points. They have won, lost, and drawn one game each and would be aiming to be more consistent. The Giants held the heavyweights Dabang Delhi KC to a 24-24 draw in their previous game and would be confident with that performance.
