Match Analysis

Patna Pirates

The absence of Monu Goyat from the raiding department seems to have hurt the Patna Pirates more than we had expected. Sachin is also seeing a dip in form and with Prashanth Kumar Rai having an average season at best, the door is left for other teams to come in and apply pressure. Guman Singh has proven to be an excellent third raider in his two outings but we think the team needs Monu Goyat back to be at its best. The Patna Pirates defense has been spectacular in PKL 2021-22. It has been ruthless in defense and does not seem to take a step back even when the numbers are against it.

Opposition teams have started avoiding going towards Mohammadreza altogether and that allows Neeraj Kumar to start picking up a lot of defensive points as well.

Puneri Paltan

Three wins from four matches had raised hopes that Puneri Paltan was on the verge of a spectacular turnaround but now with two defeats in its previous two matches, those hopes are fading fast. Here is what we know for sure, Puneri Paltan is making a lot of changes to its starting lineup and that cannot be good for the confidence of its players. Pankaj Mohite started the season as the lead raider but was then left out because of his poor form. He was brought in once more as the lead raider in the previous match and that would have messed with Aslam Inamdar's rhythm as well.

WIth Nitin Tomar a pale shadow of his best, we don't think Puneri Paltan has the attack to be able to fight against the Patna Pirates. The Puneri Paltan defense has been performing quite well in recent matches and that is something to work on. The likes of Vishal Bharadwaj and Abinesh Nadarajan will want to keep the Patna Pirates raiders in check.

Key stat

With 33 tackle points from 11 matches, Mohammadreza has been one of the best defenders in PKL 2021-22. The Patna Pirates should also have the most tackle points in the league after this match as they are just two points behind the Bengaluru Bulls with one match in hand.

Verdict

We are going to bet on the Patna Pirates to win this match. They have been consistently been one of the strongest teams of the entire league and even though their form has dipped just a bit, they should be able to overpower the struggling Puneri Paltan lineup.

Bet on the Patna Pirates to win.
