Puneri Paltan vs Patna Pirates Probable Playing 7s
Puneri Paltan
Substitute raider Mohit Goyat, with nine raid points, was the best raider for Puneri Paltan in the last game. Meanwhile, Aslam Inamdar also scored eight raid points in the attack.
Abinesh Nadarajan completed a high-5 in the defense, and Vishal Bhardwaj scored three tackle points. If Nitin Tomar is fit, he could replace Pankaj Mohite in the starting seven. Rahul Chaudhari could also be benched for Mohit Goyat.

Patna Pirates

Today's PKL Match Prediction
Despite winning the last game, Anup Kumar has plenty of headaches. Rahul Chaudhari's form is the biggest concern for Puneri Paltan and they are also struggling with Nitin Tomar's fitness.
While the young raiders bailed them out in the last game, their main raiders have to fire.
For the Patna Pirates, their defense still lacks solidity. While they managed to contain the fierce attack of the Yoddhas in the last game, it was more of a one-man show from the Iranian.
Prediction: Patna Pirates are expected to win this game.
