Puneri Paltan continue to remain in the bottom half of the Pro Kabaddi points table. With seven wins and as many defeats from 14 games, they have 37 points to their name.

Meanwhile, U Mumba’s two-match winning run came to an end with their defeat against Dabang Delhi KC last time out. U Mumba now have two wins, as many ties and a loss in their last five games.

However, the former champions have managed to remain in the top six, at fifth, with 42 points. They have five wins, four defeats and five tied games out of 14 matches so far.

This game will be crucial for U Mumba in terms of strengthening their position in the top six.

Puneri Paltan, meanwhile, will eye a fourth straight win. It will be interesting to see if U Mumba can bring an end to their run.

Today’s PKL Match Prediction

Puneri Paltan are in top form coming into this game. They have won their last three contests and are performing well as a unit. The likes of Mohit, Aslam Inamdar, Abinesh and Sanket have done well. The Paltan will need Nitin Tomar to step up as well if they are to beat U Mumba.

U Mumba, on the other hand, have not been consistent in their last five games. The key players in Abhishek, Ajith and Fazel will have to come good. Puneri Paltan will pose a tough challenge and U Mumba need to put up an all-round performance to beat them.

This could be a closely-fought contest. But with Puneri Paltan having the momentum on their side, they should come through.

Prediction: Puneri Paltan to beat U Mumba.
