U.P. will rely on their corner combination of Sumit and Nitesh Kumar to stunt the Tamil attack.
On the other hand, Thalaivas will be hoping their own defensive duo of Surjeet Singh and Sagar has a good match.
Tamil Thalaivas win matches when their defence performs.
Sagar got a High 5 as Thalaivas beat Yoddha in the reverse fixture earlier in the season.
Sagar and Sahil in the corners were outstanding in the Southern Derbies.
They will need to replicate that form and hope captain Surjeet Singh has a solid day on the mat to stop the wily raiders of UP Yoddha.
While the Thalaivas rely heavily on their defender in Manjeet and Ajinkya Pawar, they have a good raiding duo.
But they don’t usually get multi-point raids. Therefore, it is important for their defenders to keep scoring points at the other end.
Meanwhile, U.P. have recently stopped giving Pardeep Narwal a role in the starting 7.
Shrikant Jadhav has been the support raider to Surender Gill with Yoddha strengthening the defence.
U.P. captain Nitesh Kumar has been excellent in the right corner and will be eyeing a win to help his team in the race for a playoff spot.
The last time when these two teams met, Surender Gill’s 14-point raid went in vain as Tamil Thalaivas clinched a 39-33 victory.
For Thalaivas Manjeet and Ajinkya Pawar scored a combined tally of 13 points.
Tamil Thalaivas are entering into this contest after losing their last game against U Mumba and will be looking to get back to winning ways.
