Patna Pirates will face UP Yoddhas in the 79th match of Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2023-24 at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad.
Patna Pirates will be disappointed with their performances in recent fixtures. They are currently on a four-game winless streak and find themselves in the eighth spot with just five wins from 13 outings.
They suffered a heavy 41-25 defeat against Tamil Thalaivas in their last encounter, which would have had a significant impact on their confidence. Skipper Neeraj Kumar hasn’t been up to the mark, giving away too many easy points. The raiding has been good, but the defense needs to step up in order to help the Pirates make a comeback.
On the other hand, UP Yoddhas have definitely underperformed this season, given how good their team is. They are having a disastrous season, languishing at the 11th spot with just three wins from 13 games.
The injury to Surender Gill and Pardeep Narwal's inconsistency has hurt them a lot. Even the defense has been below-par and hasn’t been able to support their raiders. The Yoddhas have lost their last five games and are in desperate need of a win.
