U Mumba vs Puneri Paltan Pro Kabaddi 2025 match prediction

U Mumba will be sweating over Ajit Chouhan's form and fitness. The star raider got injured and then looked out of touch when he returned against the Patna Pirates. Sunil Kumar will have to lead his team from the front in the defense to ensure U Mumba continue their winning momentum.

However, it will be an extremely challenging task for Sunil because Puneri Paltan have regained their lost touch and seem unstoppable now. Pune have a balanced squad, and their captain Aslam Inamdar has marshaled his troops brilliantly. Pune have a slight upper hand heading into this PKL 2025 game.

Prediction: Puneri Paltan to win against U Mumba.
