Match Analysis

Dabang Delhi KC

Dabang Delhi KC won its previous match but that was far from a convincing result. Naveen Kumar had to be substituted in the middle of the match after an injury to his knee and it is not yet certain that is going to play this match. In his absence, the team looks very beatable as they have a very weak backup raiding department and their defense has been the worst-performing in PKL 2021-22. We have been going on about how Naveen Kumar was hiding the cracks in the team and without him, the team could find it very difficult to even compete with the Patna Pirates. This is why we highly recommend you check out the starting lineup before placing your bets for this match and see if Naveen Kumar is fit to play or not.

Patna Pirates

A very impressive win against the Bengaluru Bulls in their previous match showed just why the Patna Pirates are the team to beat this season. Monu Goyat, their most experienced raider was not available but Sachin stepped up brilliantly to do the job. He, Prashanth Kumar Rai, and Guman Singh formed an excellent attacking raiding trio on the mat. The defense of the Patna Pirates has been ruthless this entire season and that was the case in the match against the Bengaluru Bulls as well. The Patna Pirates can certainly neutralize the threat of Dabang Delhi KC on the mat even if Naveen Kumar is available for selection. Without him, the Pirates could absolutely crush Dabang Delhi KC.

Key stat

Dabang Delhi KC has the least average tackle points per match in PKL 2021-22 while the Patna Pirates have the most. This shows just how good the Patna Pirates defense has been.

Verdict

The Patna Pirates are a better-balanced team than Dabang Delhi KC. The limelight may be on their raiding trio, however, it is the stellar defense of the Patna Pirates that gives it the real steel in our opinion. Dabang Delhi KC has been too dependent on Naveen Kumar for a long time and there is a chance that he may not be fit for this match. The odds available on Patna Pirates to win make this an absolute no-brainer in our opinion.

Bet on the Patna Pirates to win.
