MUM vs PUN Dream11 prediction: Today's match predicted playing 7s for U Mumba vs Puneri Paltan Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 90

U Mumba (MUM) and Puneri Paltan (PUN) face off in what should be a fiercely contested Maharashtra derby on Tuesday, December 3, at the Balewadi Sports Complex in Pune.

The home team Puneri Paltan should receive tremendous support from their home faithful as they embark on a quest to defend their PKL 10 crown. They broke their two-match losing streak with a nervy but important 34-33 win over the Gujarat Giants last time out, and will look to start their home leg on a positive note.

U Mumba, meanwhile, held the second place on the points table for the longest period of time. But in a tightly contested and congested mid-table muddle, a couple of negative results have seen them drop out of the top half of the table, although a win should take them right back to 3rd. A well-rested team, they'll look to bounce back from the 35-41 loss they suffered at the hands of the Telugu Titans.

MUM vs PUN Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 90

Raider - Mohit Goyat

There is a host of raiding options to choose from on Dream11 in this fixture, but what sets Mohit Goyat apart is his high rate of defensive contributions. In 14 appearances, he has scored 69 raid points and 12 tackle points, and while those numbers aren't the best by his standards, he has been in reasonably good form.

He was their joint-best raider in the Paltan's 35-28 win over U Mumba in the reverse fixture and should have a solid outing again.

---

Defender - Gaurav Khatri

Gaurav Khatri was one of the best Dream11 options in the league for most of this season, but he has seen a major dip in form over the Paltan's last few outings. However, he did score seven tackle points in the reverse fixture against U Mumba, and the home support could see him return to form.

If he gets going, it'll be hard to stop a defender like Gaurav Khatri, and he's also a Dream11 captaincy option for this one.

---

All-Rounder - Amirmohammad Zafardanesh

The limitless point-scoring potential of Amirmohammad Zafardanesh makes him a Dream11 must-have, even though his statistics haven't been the best this season. He has scored 40 raid points and 19 tackle points in 13 appearances, and it's those tackle points which makes him a really attractive option.

If he can score even two tackle points, and back it up with a few handy raid points, it could result in a sizeable Dream11 haul, and in this crunch fixture for his team, expect the Iranian to step up.

MUM vs PUN Expert Tips for Pro Kabaddi 2024

Selecting a team for this Maharashtra derby is easier said than done as both teams tend to have the points spread across the side, and don't have one or two big names who stand out as Dream11 picks. Gaurav Khatri is the best Fantasy pick on paper, but his poor form means that he could be excluded from the team to free up funds and select the likes of differentials like Parvesh Bhainswal or Sanket Sawant.

In terms of captaincy, there are quite a few options to choose from, but the first-choice picks should be Gaurav Khatri, Mohit Goyat, Rinku, and Amirmohammad Zafardanesh.
