On Friday, Bengal Warriors will be in action as they face UP Yoddha in the 69th match of the Pro Kabaddi League 2022.
The Bengal Warriors have had a mixed run so far this season as they sit 4th in the points table with six wins, five losses and one tied game after 12 matches.
The defending champions initially had difficulty finding their feet, but have picked up momentum recently. The Warriors are unbeaten in their last four matches, including a 40-39 win over the Bengaluru Bulls in the previous fixture.
UP Yoddha, on the other hand, had a tough start to the competition, but recovered quickly to move up to 5th position in the points table with four wins, four losses and three tied games after 11 matches. UP Yoddha are also unbeaten in their last four matches, having defeated Puneri Paltan 50-40 in their previous outing.
The Bengal Warriors defeated UP Yoddha 38-33 when the two sides met earlier this season. While the Warriors will look to repeat their performance, UP Yoddha will be itching to avenge their loss.

Today's PKL Match Prediction
With Sukesh Hegde back in form, the Bengal Warriors look deadly in the attack. However, they are still slippery in their defense. If the defenders fail to raise their game, it would be difficult for them to stop the Yoddha's raiding trio.
UP Yoddha are threatening in attack. Surender Gill, Pardeep Narwal and Shrikant Jadhav are making the right moves in the raiding department. With Nitesh Kumar back among the points, their defense is also looking settled now.
Prediction: UP Yoddha to win.
