Three exciting matches were played on the opening day of Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) season 9. Another triple panga is scheduled for the second day in Bengaluru, so it should be a lot of fun.
On Saturday, October 8th, Patna Pirates will take on Puneri Paltan in the opening encounter. This article provides a prediction for the next match between Patna Pirates and Puneri Paltan.
Patna Pirates, three-time winners, were defeated by Dabang Delhi in the championship game last season by the slimmest of margins. The Puneri Paltan team, on the other hand, was eliminated in the preliminary round.
Both the Patna Pirates and the Puneri Paltan have kept together their core groups of youthful raiders from the previous season. Most notably, Fazel Atrachali and Mohammad Nabibaksh, two of Paltan’s greatest auction acquisitions, won’t be available for the season opener.
Similarly, the Pirates’ top defender from the previous season, Mohammadreza Chiyaneh, will also be out.
Given their inferior level of experience, Paltan would be heavy underdogs at the outset of the match.
