Match Analysis

U Mumba

U Mumba has been playing some very good kabaddi and some extremely poor kabaddi this season. They have lacked consistency and while there is no doubt that they have a lot of quality on their bench, we don't think the team is near to being as dominant as it has been in previous seasons. The Patna Pirates wiped the floor with U Mumba in the previous match and that loss would have hurt. Abhishek Singh struggled as the lead raider and the defense did not have too many answers to the opposing raiders. One thing in U Mumba's favor coming into this match is that it has been ruthless against teams that are placed below it in the standings even as it has struggled against the stronger ones.

Puneri Paltan

The return of Nitin Tomar to the starting lineup added a lot of depth to the Puneri Paltan side. Aslam Inamdar was the standout performer with 17 points but just having someone of the quality of Nitin Tomar as the backup raider makes a huge difference. With Mohit Goyat in the lineup to add to the raiding resources, the Puneri Paltan lineup is looking quite well stocked. Consistency has been an issue with Aslam Inamdar and so there lies the biggest risk. Puneri Paltan's defense was outstanding in the previous match against the Bengal Warriors and if it can continue to perform in the same vein, we have no doubt it will come close to pulling off an upset against U Mumba.

Key stat

Puneri Paltan has scored the least average points per match in PKL 2021-22. U Mumba is not too much better, though, and is 9th out of 12 teams in the same stats ranking.

Verdict

We are going to back the upset in this match. The odds available to bet on Puneri Paltan are excellent and we think well worth the risk. U Mumba is not at its strongest and Puneri Paltan is just building some momentum. We could be in for a surprise here.

Bet on Puneri Paltan to win.
