Today's PKL Match Prediction
The Patna Pirates have managed to play as a unit so far, getting contributions from every player. However, there is still room for improvement in the raiding and defense departments. Monu Goyat and Prashanth Kumar are the main raiders for the Pirates, and the Pro Kabaddi team will expect more raid points from them.
At the same time, the Bengal Warriors are struggling badly in defense. Their attack looks strong with Maninder Singh and Sukesh Hegde, but points are hard to come by in defense. Their defensive unit will have to regroup and find their feet to return to winning ways.
Prediction: Bengal Warriors are expected to win this game.
