PKL Season 8 2022 Semi-Final Prediction and Betting Odds
Despite dominating the Pro Kabaddi league stage and finishing first, Patna Pirates’ favourite position heading into the playoffs will be tested by UP Yoddha. UP already demonstrated in the eliminator match that they are more than capable of turning a lost game around under stress.
UP Yoddha’s star raider Pardeep Narwal will be the key to decide the match. The raider scored massive 18-point in the eliminators and will be eager to prove his worth against his former team. The match is bound to be a close contest from the analysis of this season’s matches between the two.
