TEAMS PREVIEW

Tamil Thalaivas Preview

Tamil Thalaivas, after a promising start to the season, have recently encountered a slump, losing their last few matches. Their latest defeat was a 39-26 loss to Dabang Delhi KC. Narender Khandola led the raiding efforts with 6 points, while captain Sahil Gulia topped the defensive charts with 5 tackle points. However, the team's reliance on Sachin Tanwar was evident as his subpar performance of 4 points significantly impacted their overall performance. Despite their defensive prowess, the Thalaivas struggled to contain their opponents.

The Thalaivas' recent losing streak has placed them in a precarious position. Their upcoming match against a formidable U Mumba side will be a tough test. The Thalaivas' defense, particularly the right corner and left cover defenders, will be crucial in stopping the talented Ajit Chavan. Sachin Tanwar and Narender Khandola will need to step up their game against the strong U Mumba defense, which has shown vulnerabilities in the corner positions.

This season, the Thalaivas have averaged 35.63 points per game, conceding 34.66 points per game. Their raiding unit, averaging 17.88 raid points per game, is the third-worst in the league. However, their defense, averaging 13 tackle points per game, is the second-best. Sachin Tanwar, with 60 raid points, and Sahil Gulia, with 25 tackle points, have been their standout performers.

Tamil Thalaivas Probable Starting 7 - Sachin Tanwar, Narender Khandola, Anuj Gawade, Nitesh Kumar, Amirhossein Bastami, Sahil Gulia, M Abhishek

U Mumba Preview

U Mumba were disappointed with their performance in the last match against Haryana Steelers. Despite leading 23-22 at halftime, they failed to maintain their momentum in the second half, ultimately losing 39-48. They were unable to score a single point in the game due to the significant point difference.

Ajit Chavan was the star performer, scoring 18 points (13 touch points, 4 bonus points, and 1 tackle point). He impressed with his swift toe touches and running hand touches. Rohit Raghav contributed 4 points as the secondary raider, while Parvesh Bhainswal led the defense with 2 tackle points. However, the team's weak corners were a major concern. Sombir and Rinku HC had off nights, and the pressure created by Ajit Chavan's raiding exposed their defensive vulnerabilities.

Coach Gholamreza might consider making changes, potentially bringing in Bittu Banawala and Lokesh Ghosaliya. Statistically, Mumba averages 34.11 points per game and concedes 34.66 points per game. Their raiding unit averages 19.78 raid points, while their defense averages 10.67 tackle points per game.

U Mumba Probable Starting 7 - Ajit Chavan, Amirmohammad Zafardanesh, Sunil Kumar, Parvesh Bhainswal, Bittu Banawala, Lokesh Ghosaliya, Rohit Raghav

TAMT vs UMUM
Winning Prediction

U Mumba, with their strong raiding unit led by Ajit Chavan and a solid defensive performance, are expected to dominate the match against a struggling Tamil Thalaivas side. Mumba's recent form and their ability to capitalize on their opponents' weaknesses suggest a comfortable victory for them.
