TEAMS PREVIEW

U Mumba Preview

U Mumba are coming off a 7-5, tie breaker win over the Haryana Steelers in their last match, after the game was tied 37-37 in regular time. Sandeep Kumar (9 raid points), Ajit Chouhan (5 raid points) and Amir Mohammad Zafardanesh (2 raid points) combined for 16 raid points, while Zafardanesh also chipped in with 4 tackle points. 

Despite some lapses and inconsistency, Mumba will be happy with the form of their raiders, where they are averaging 20 raid points per game and their raiding unit of Sandeep Kumar (112 raid points) and Ajit Chouhan (81 raid points) are the two top raiders this season for Mumba. 

On the defensive end, Mumba have been clinical, scoring 55 tackle points in the last four matches, after having a tough outing against the Puneri Paltan last week where they scored only 4 tackle points. Sunil Kumar, the leader of the pack, has 45 tackle points in 16 matches. When he gets going, the rest of the defense usually excels on most nights.

Jaipur Pink Panthers Preview

Jaipur Pink Panthers head into this contest on the back off a 30-38, 8 point dominant win over the Bengal Warriors to seal their playoff spot. Nitin Kumar scored 15 raid points (12 touch & 3 bonus) and was well supported by Ali Samadi with 5 raid points. On the defensive end Deepanshu Khatri (4 tackle points) and Aryan Kumar (3 tackle points) made a major difference. 

Nitin Kumar Dhanakar, on his comeback from injury, scored 24 raid points in the last two matches, while Ali Samadi continued his good run of form  averaging close to 9 raid points per game in the last four. These two raiders will be key against the strong U Mumba defensive unit. 

In defense, the Pink Panthers scored 21 tackle points in the last two matches. However, they face a tough task against the skilful Ajith Chouhan and Sandeep Kumar. If the Pink Panthers are to have any chance of winning this contest, their defense will need to perform at its best.

UMUM vs JPP
Winning Prediction

This is going to be a defensive and slow paced game, with the odds in favour of U Mumba to win the match who won three of their last five matches and are already through to the playoffs, while the Pink Panthers need one more win to seal their spot and we back them to win this match.
