Today's PKL Match Prediction

The raiders of Patna Pirates have been contributing, with all of Monu Goyat, Prashanth Rai and Sachin scoring raid points in the last game. However, their defenders are still not playing as per their potential. While it was an improved performance from the defense against the Titans, there is a lot of scope for improvement.

Tamil Thalaivas, meanwhile, are picking up the pace with each passing game. Their defense has been rock solid so far, and their raiders are slowly getting into the groove. If the duo of Manjeet and K Prapanjan can play as per their potential, the Thalaivas could notch their second consecutive win.

Prediction: Tamil Thalaivas are expected to win this fixture.
