UP Yoddha will lock horns with U Mumba in Match No. 124 of the Pro Kabaddi League 2021. The match between the two teams is set to be played on Thursday, February 17, with a lot at stake for the U Mumba team.
Looking at the current scenario, UP Yoddha are very much in contention to qualify for the playoffs and will look to dominate the struggling U Mumba Pro Kabaddi team. Yoddha come into the match having crushed Dabang Delhi 44-28 in their previous match.
The Season 2 champions, on the other hand, are outside the top six and are fighting to keep themselves in contention for a playoff spot. They have lost three out of their last five matches.
U Mumba were handed a crushing 44-28 defeat by the Jaipur Pink Panthers in their most recent fixture. As we approach the business end of the tournament, the Mumbai franchise will have to pull up their socks and start winning matches if they want to make it to the knockout stage.
Coming to the current standings on the Pro Kabaddi points table, UP Yoddha are comfortably placed in third spot with nine wins, nine losses, and three ties from 21 matches. U Mumba, who started the season strongly, have faded slightly and have now dropped to ninth spot due to a couple of losses.
So far, the team has secured seven wins, eight losses, and five ties from 20 matches. A win for U Mumba gives them the chance to climb the points chart.
