Match Analysis

Tamil Thalaivas

The Tamil Thalaivas have been playing quite well in PKL 2021-22 but are still looking for its first win. Two ties have meant that it is above Puneri Paltan in the standings but it could quite easily have won both of those matches. A little bit of inexperience in the team and a lack of depth in their resources are holding the team back. Manjeet and Athul MS have been the two most impressive raiders for the Thalaivas so far and they are quite capable of giving the Puneri Paltan a defense a run for their money. Having Surinder Singh as the leader of the defense is also a big advantage for the Tamil Thalaivas. They have been well-organized and have not made too many errors under pressure.

Puneri Paltan

Puneri Paltan got absolutely decimated by the Patna Pirates in the previous match and this is why we are surprised to see them available to equal odds to win the match when compared to the far more impressive Tamil Thalaivas. It appears as if Puneri Paltan has made a mistake by putting its faith in Rahul Chaudhary as the lead raider. He has been in terrible form and is basically not a factor at all right now. With Pankaj Mohite also not able to pick up the slack, the raiding department looks to be in real trouble right now.

The defense for Puneri Paltan has been decent without being outstanding. It is not going to be easy for Puneri Paltan to stop the Tamil Thalaivas raiding unit and we just cannot see Puneri Paltan making a massive improvement overnight.

Key stat

Puneri Paltan has the least number of points scored in the entire Pro Kabaddi League right now (90). The Tamil Thalaivas have the third most successful tackle points out of the all teams in PKL 2021-22 and that combination indicates that Puneri Paltan is in for a lot of trouble during this match.

Verdict

We are going to bet on the Tamil Thalaivas to win this match. We think it has been much better in defense than Puneri Paltan and its raiding unit is superior as well. It is time that the Tamil Thalaivas register their first win of PKL 2021-22.

Bet on the Tamil Thalaivas to win.
