Pro Kabaddi 2019, Match 95: U Mumba vs UP Yoddha - Predicting each team's playing 7
The second phase of Pro Kabaddi 2019's Pune leg will commence from tomorrow with Season 2 winners U Mumba locking horns with the comeback kings, UP Yoddha in the first match. The Lucknow-based franchise had defeated U Mumba in their previous meeting. Hence, Fazel Atrachali and Co. will try to avenge that loss in Match No. 95 of PKL 2019.
U Mumba, meanwhile, suffered a 3-point defeat to Bengal Warriors in their last match where Maninder Singh and Co. ensured that Arjun Deshwal's heroics go in vain. On the other hand, UP Yoddha defeated Jaipur Pink Panthers in their last game with the raiding trio of Surender Gill, Shrikant Jadhav and Rishank Devadiga doing the job for the franchise.
A win for U Mumba can help them climb to the 5th spot on the points table while if UP Yoddha win this contest, then they will grab a place in the top 4. Here's how the two teams may line up for this encounter -
U Mumba
Key Players - Arjun Deshwal, Fazel Atrachali and Abhishek Singh
The team's young raider, Arjun Deshwal will hope that he gets the support of Abhishek Singh and Rohit Baliyan when U Mumba face UP Yoddha.
