The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2025 season is all set for an exciting Sunday, with two spectacular matches lined up. Kabaddi fans can expect a high-octane action-packed day as the southern rivals – UP Yoddha vs Telugu Titans and Bengaluru Bulls vs Tamil Thalaivas – take to the mat. The first match will be held at 8:00 PM, and the second at 9:00 PM. With so much at stake for both teams in both matches, these encounters are guaranteed to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
Let’s dive into the details of both matches and analyze the current form, head-to-head records, and what fans can expect from these intense clashes.
Match 1 (PKL 12 Match 65): UP Yoddha vs Telugu Titans – 8:00 PM
The first match of the evening will see UP Yoddhas take on Telugu Titans. UP Yoddha have struggled throughout this season, having only won 4 out of their 10 matches so far. Currently sitting at the 9th spot in the points table, they are desperately seeking a victory to maintain their hopes for a playoff spot. Their previous performances have been inconsistent, and they will need to step up their game to secure this much-needed win in Chennai.
On the other hand, Telugu Titans have shown much better form, winning 6 of their 11 matches and sitting comfortably in the 3rd position. They have been on a winning streak, with 3 consecutive victories. The team has found strong performances from their raiders and defenders, which has lifted their confidence ahead of this crucial encounter.
UP Yoddha vs Telugu Titans Head-to-Head (Who Has the Upper Hand?):
In the 17 matches played between UP Yoddha and Telugu Titans, UP Yoddha have won 12 matches, while Telugu Titans have won just 3, with 2 matches ending in a draw. This record indicates that UP Yoddha have historically dominated their encounters. However, with Telugu Titans’ current form and strong performances from their raiders, this game could prove to be a tough challenge for Yoddha.
Match Prediction:
Telugu Titans are the favorites for this match, given their excellent form and overall balance. However, UP Yoddha’s solid head-to-head record against the Titans means that they cannot be underestimated. This could be a close encounter, but the Titans’ current momentum makes them the likely winners.
Match 2 (PKL 12 Match 66): Bengaluru Bulls vs Tamil Thalaivas – 9:00 PM
Following the UP Yoddha vs Telugu Titans match, we have another high-voltage Southern Derby as Bengaluru Bulls take on Tamil Thalaivas. This match will be another crucial one, as both teams are looking for a win to improve their positions in the points table. Bengaluru Bulls, who were defeated by Pune Paltan in a tie-breaker in their last match, will be looking to bounce back. They currently sit in 7th place, with a -7 point difference.
Tamil Thalaivas, on the other hand, have found some much-needed confidence after a crucial win against Haryana Steelers in their last outing. This victory marked their first win in Chennai in seven years, and they will be looking to build on that success. Despite being placed 8th with a -23 point difference, they are not far behind the Bulls and will be eager to leapfrog them with a win in this Southern Derby.
Bengaluru Bulls vs Tamil Thalaivas Head-to-Head (Who Has the Upper Hand?):
Out of 17 encounters between Bengaluru Bulls and Tamil Thalaivas, Bengaluru Bulls have won 13 matches, while Tamil Thalaivas have won 4. Bengaluru Bulls hold the upper hand in their head-to-head record, but Tamil Thalaivas will have the advantage of playing at home. Their improved form recently gives them confidence that they can turn the tables on the Bulls in this highly anticipated Southern Derby.
Match Prediction:
Tamil Thalaivas will look to extend their winning run in their home leg, especially after their victory against Haryana. Bengaluru Bulls, though strong on paper, will need to bring their A-game to Chennai to overcome the home advantage that Tamil Thalaivas hold. The Thalaivas’ solid defense and improved raiding form make them slight favorites for this match.
