Bengaluru Bulls vs Patna Pirates Match 88 Prediction

The rivalry between these two teams is historically a tough one, with the Patna Pirates generally holding the head-to-head advantage in the Pro Kabaddi League. However, current season form and recent match-ups suggest a close contest.

The Bengaluru Bulls have shown moments of brilliance, particularly with the all-round performance of their young raiding unit led by players like Alireza and Akash. The Pirates rely heavily on the raiding prowess of Maninder Singh, who is complemented by young raiders Ayan and Sudhakar. Crucially, the Pirates' defence has been inconsistent, and they need a strong showing from their cover and corner combinations to secure the win.

Given the Bulls' recent win against the Pirates earlier in the season and their balanced squad, they enter this match with a slight edge in momentum.

Prediction: Bengaluru Bulls are expected to win a tightly-fought contest.
