TEAMS PREVIEW

U Mumba Preview

U Mumba are coming off a two point loss against the rejuvenated Telugu Titans, for the first time this season Mumba has failed to close out a game. Manjeet with seven raid points was the top scorer for Mumba, while Ajit Chavan who is the team's lead raider in the season was substituted in the 24th minute. Rohit Raghav with 8 points (4 raid touch, 3 bonus & 1 tackle) was the game changer for Mumba who at one point looked well and truly out of the game after 30 minutes. Sunil Kumar with 4 tackle points, Sombir with three tackle points were the best defenders. 

Mumba will be aware of the threat the Bulls is as they almost lost their last game against them. The key to their success in so far in the season has been theri offense. They tend to start off really quickly and look to get a good lead in the first half and then often slows down the pace of the game, this has been their winning mantra. With Manjeet coming good in the last three games, AJit Chavan is expected to get a lighter workload. Mumba will look to use Ajit more in this game if Manjeet fails to overcome Nitin Rawal who has been the main defender in the left corner. 

Statistically, Mumba averages 34.08 points per game and concedes 34.33 points per game. Their raiding unit averages 19.50 raid points per game, ranking sixth in the league, and their defense averages 10.92 tackle points per game, ranking fifth. Ajit Chavan, with 101 raid points, is the team's top raider, while Rinku and Sunil Kumar, with 28 tackle points each in 12 matches, are the top defenders for Mumba this season.

U Mumba Probable Starting 7 - Manjeet, Ajit Chavan, Rinku, Sombir Goswami, Sunil Kumar, Parvesh Bhainswal, Amir Mohmmad Zafardanesh

U Mumba Over/Under Predictions

Bengaluru Bulls Preview

Bengaluru Bulls disastrous season continues as they lose yet another game by a huge margin which is also their sixth consecutive loss this season. The Steelers just outplayed the Bulls in all facets of the game clinching a 26-32 win. The Bulls didn't start the first half positively as they were trailing by 9 points with the score at 12-21 at half time. In the second half the Bulls showed some promise and forged a comeback but it wasn't enough as the Steelers held on to their lead. 

Akshit Dhull with 7 raid points (5 touch & 2 bonus) was the top raider, Pardeep Narwal once again struggled to score and finished with just a solitary raid point. Nitin Rawal with four tackle points was once again the top defender for the Bulls, Saurabh Nandal also stepped up finishing with three tackle points. The Problem for the Bulls lies in their raiding where they have failed to get in touch points and their raid success percentage this season is really low (33%). 

This season, the Bulls have averaged 31.07 points per game and conceded 39 points per game, the most by any team this season. Their raiding unit averages 17.69 raid points per game, and their defense averages 10.62 tackle points per game.

Bengaluru Bulls Probable Starting 7 - Pardeep Narwal, Akshit Dhull, Jai Bhawan, Sunny Sherawat, Parteek, Saurabh Nandal, Nitin Rawal
