PKL 12: UP Yoddhas vs Patna Pirates prediction, possible starting 7, head-to-head & free live stream

UP Yoddhas won the first match between these two teams earlier this season in PKL 12.

It is the second week of the Chennai leg of Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12), and two teams with different intentions will badly need a win.

The three-time champions are struggling at the bottom of the points table. On the other hand, there are speculations that their head coach, Anup Kumar, is no longer part of the team, and in such a situation, the team’s problems may increase further.

Their opponents, UP Yoddhas, have suffered consecutive defeats and have failed to find their rhythm. With the strong squad they possess, they would want to move forward in the PKL 12 table. A hard-fought contest awaits in PKL 12 on Monday.

Players to watch out for

Patna Pirates – Ankit Jaglan

Ankit Jaglan has been a cornerstone of the Patna Pirates‘ defence in the last few years. This prompted the team to retain him for two years in the Auction.

While he has performed as a defender, he has failed to inspire the team to victory. Many doubt the constant chopping and changing in the starting seven is a cause for trouble. He would want to ensure it and guide his team to victory.

UP Yoddhas – Krishan Dhull

Krishan Dhull went unsold in the auction this year after a disappointing PKL 11 with Telugu Titans. But UP Yoddhas signed him mid-season.

He would want to show his mettle, and what better than doing it against the team that capitalised on him well in PKL 10. The right corner will be itching to get his hands on the Patna raiders.

Possible starting 7

Patna Pirates – Maninder Singh, Ayan Lohchab, Sudhakar M, Deepak Singh, Balaji D, Hamid Mirzaeinader, Ankit Jaglan.

UP Yoddhas – Sumit Sangwan, Gagan Gowda, Mahender Singh, Shivam Chaudhary, Ashu Singh, Bhavani Rajput, Krishan Dhull.

Match Prediction

UP Yoddhas will have the advantage of experience, and the addition of Krishan Dhull, who knows a thing or two about Patna, will give them the edge on Monday.
