Two top of the table teams will clash in the Pro Kabaddi League 2019 as Gujarat Fortunegiants takes on home side U Mumba at the Dome@NSCI SVP Stadium in Mumbai. The Fazel Athrachali led side will be playing their last match of the home leg.
The season 2 champions have blown hot and cold this season with two wins and three losses in five games so far. They have narrowly lost two games including the last one against the UP Yoddha.
Athrachali led defence has looked impressive, but the raiders have produced a sub-par performance so far and Abhishek Singh, who has 25 successful raids so far, and Rohit Baliyan will aim to improve for U Mumba.
Gujarat Fortunegiants have won all the three games so far and the runners-up of the last two seasons have a chance to go top of the table with a win against U Mumba.
Both the raiders and defenders have been good for Gujarat with Sachin, GB More and Rohit key to their success so far. The side defeated Dabang Delhi on Thursday with the scoreline reading 31-26.
Match Prediction
Gujarat Fortunegiants have performed as a unit and it will be tough for U Mumba to break their momentum even though it will be a home game for the latter.
The U Mumba raiders have to up their game and hope that the defence continues their good run of form.
