Today’s PKL Match Prediction
Puneri Paltan are in top form coming into this game. They have won their last three contests and are performing well as a unit. The likes of Mohit, Aslam Inamdar, Abinesh and Sanket have done well. The Paltan will need Nitin Tomar to step up as well if they are to beat U Mumba.
U Mumba, on the other hand, have not been consistent in their last five games. The key players in Abhishek, Ajith and Fazel will have to come good. Puneri Paltan will pose a tough challenge and U Mumba need to put up an all-round performance to beat them.
This could be a closely-fought contest. But with Puneri Paltan having the momentum on their side, they should come through.
Prediction: Puneri Paltan to beat U Mumba.
