UP Yoddha are all set to take on the Patna Pirates in the 88th match of the Pro Kabaddi League 2022.
UP Yoddha are blowing hot and cold this season as they sit sixth in the Pro Kabaddi points table with five wins, seven losses and three tied games. The Yoddhas have been plagued with inconsistency, having managed just two wins in their last five matches. They are now on a three-game losing run, including a 26-31 loss to the Bengaluru Bulls in their previous fixture.
Meanwhile, the Patna Pirates have surpassed expectations this season. They sit third in the league standings with eight wins, four losses and one tied game. The Pirates have also won only two games in their last five, including a 30-51 loss to the Jaipur Pink Panthers in their previous match.
UP Yoddha defeated the Patna Pirates 36-35 in an exhilarating thriller when the two sides met earlier this season. They will look to climb up to third place in the league by completing a season-double over the Patna-based franchise.

Today's PKL Match Prediction
Pardeep Narwal and Surender Gill failed to get out of the blocks against the Bengaluru Bulls. While their defense is firing on all cylinders, UP Yoddha's raiders need to pull up their socks now.
At the same time, the Patna Pirates are leaking too many points in defense. Their raiders are doing a decent job in the attack, but their defenders are letting them down.
Prediction: UP Yoddha are expected to win this contest.
