MUM vs PUN Dream11 prediction: Today's match predicted playing 7s for U Mumba vs Puneri Paltan Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 32
U Mumba (MUM) and Puneri Paltan (PUN) clash in what should be an enthralling Maharashtra derby in Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Sunday, November 3, at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.
A rejuvenated and emboldened U Mumba side will take the mat tonight after beating arch-rivals Jaipur Pink Panthers 39-37 in a thrilling tie in their last outing. The contest saw a stellar raiding performance from Ajit Chouhan and substitute Rohit Raghav, and some solid defending from Rinku and Zafardanesh.
The Paltan, meanwhile, were held to a 32-32 tie by the Bengal Warriorz in a chaotic and frenzied game that swung like a pendulum after a slow start. Their defenders had a solid first half but a poor second half, with Abinesh Nadarajan and Gaurav Khatri scoring three tackle points each.
With Aslam and Mohit having an off-day, it was Akash Shinde, and Pankaj Mohite, who was benched, who rescued the team with their energetic raiding efforts.
As of now, they sit second on the points table, behind the Tamil Thalaivas only on score difference.

MUM vs PUN Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 32
Raider - Mohit Goyat
Barring Mohit Goyat, none of the other Dream11 raiding options look that great primarily because of their lack of consistency. Pankaj Mohite and Akash Shinde could be decent picks if they start, but if Aslam and Mohit have a good day, their chances of scoring points go down.
Ajit Chouhan remains a bright spark, but his touch: bonus point ratio needs to improve, whereas Manjeet remains an avoid. For now, Mohit, one of the team's most dependable raiders and someone who always loves a tackle, is a solid Dream11 pick.
Defender - Gaurav Khatri
Who else but Gaurav Khatri? The Pune right corner hasn't done much wrong this season, scoring 21 tackle points in five matches. U Mumba's raiding department has looked patchy throughout the season, and against arguably the league's most in-form defender, they will struggle, and Gaurav should rack up the Dream11 points.
All-Rounder - Amirmohammad Zafardanesh
Amirmohammad Zafardanesh was hardly used as a raiding option against Jaipur, but his training in the Iranian national team meant that he found another route for Dream11 points, scoring three tackle points with not a single unsuccessful tackle.
A real X-Factor player for U Mumba, Zafardanesh has the capability to record huge Dream11 hauls and is a must-have for this one.

MUM vs PUN Expert Tips for Pro Kabaddi 2024
While the Puneri Paltan are definitely the favorites for this one, and even a 5-2 team setup in their favor won't be out of order, U Mumba could well spring a surprise or two in what should be a high-octane clash.
The usual suspects Mohit Goyat and Gaurav Khatri are must-haves, with Aslam also likely belonging to that bracket. However, for those brave enough, Abinesh Nadarajan, Sombir, and Amirmohammad Zafardanesh are also really interesting options in the all-rounders' category.
Coming to captaincy, Gaurav Khatri and Mohit Goyat are the standout picks, with most of the U Mumba players differential options only.
