Jaipur Pink Panthers vs Puneri Paltan Pro Kabaddi 2025 Match Prediction
This encounter is expected to be a tightly contested affair, defined by the quality of defence from both sides. Puneri Paltan enter the match with the advantage of a higher table position and stronger overall team metrics, particularly in the defensive department, where they consistently average high tackle points. Their raiding unit, led by Aditya Shinde and Pankaj Mohite, offers varied threats, preventing opponents from focusing on a single point scorer.
The key for Jaipur will be how effectively Nitin Kumar can tackle the strong Pune corners, Gaurav Khatri and Vishal Bhardwaj. If Jaipur's raider can minimize unsuccessful raids and force super tackles on Pune's all-rounders, they stand a chance. However, Puneri Paltan have demonstrated superior consistency and clutch performance throughout the season. Their defence is perfectly set up to counter Jaipur’s primary raiding threat.
Considering Puneri Paltan's excellent team cohesion, the depth in their raiding unit, and their top-tier defensive consistency, they are the slight favourites to edge out the Pink Panthers in what promises to be a very close match.
