The action-packed Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 is moving forward with full intensity, and fans are being treated to edge-of-the-seat matches every night. In Match 82, U Mumba will take on UP Yoddhas on Monday, 13th October 2025, at 9:00 PM in the Thyagaraja Indoor Stadium, New Delhi.
This game is a clash between two teams that are heading in opposite directions in terms of form and confidence. While U Mumba are rising with momentum, UP Yoddhas are desperately seeking answers to turn their season around.
Current Form and Standings
The Delhi leg of PKL 12 has already started to shake up the points table, and every match from here on could have a direct impact on the playoff race. This encounter between U Mumba and UP Yoddhas is especially important as both teams have different motivations.
U Mumba have shown consistency in their recent matches. With 7 wins from 13 games, they currently occupy the 5th position on the points table with 14 points. Their last match was a convincing win over Bengal Warriors, and they will aim to continue this winning rhythm. For U Mumba, this is an opportunity to strengthen their position in the top four, and possibly aim for a top-two finish.
UP Yoddhas, on the other hand, are on a five-match losing streak. They have dropped down to 10th place, with just 4 wins in 13 matches and 8 points. Their performance has been inconsistent, and the recent loss against Gujarat Giants only made things worse. With a score difference of -45, their chances of making it to the top eight are slowly slipping away. If they don’t turn things around soon, their qualification hopes may no longer be in their hands.
U Mumba vs UP Yoddhas – Head-to-Head Record
These two teams have shared a competitive rivalry over the seasons.
- Total Matches Played: 14
- U Mumba Wins: 6
- UP Yoddhas Wins: 7
- Ties: 1
Interestingly, in the last six encounters, the record is even — three wins each. This suggests that while UP Yoddhas may have a slight historical edge, U Mumba have often matched up well against them in recent seasons.
Key Players to Watch Out For
Sunil Kumar (U Mumba)
Sunil Kumar is not just a strong defender but also a dependable leader on the mat. His calm temperament and ability to make smart decisions under pressure have turned games in U Mumba’s favour multiple times. In this match, his leadership will be vital in organising the defence against a raiding unit that includes Guman Singh and Bhavani Rajput.
With tall and aggressive raiders like Gagan Gowda, Bhavani Rajput, and Guman Singh on the opposition side, Sunil’s role as the backbone of the defence will be under the spotlight.
Guman Singh (UP Yoddhas)
Guman Singh, who made his name playing for U Mumba, will be going up against his former team. This adds an emotional edge to his performance. After being picked as the lead raider to replace Bharat Hooda, he has not yet fully delivered to expectations.
This match is an opportunity for him to cement his spot in the starting seven and help his team stay alive in the playoff race. His performance could be the difference between another defeat and a surprise comeback for UP Yoddhas.
Probable Starting 7
U Mumba:
- Sandeep
- Amirmohammad Zafardanesh
- Parvesh Bhainswal

Match Prediction
Based on current form, U Mumba are clear favourites going into this clash. They have shown balance in both attack and defence, and with their raiding unit performing well, they will look to capitalise on UP Yoddhas’ poor form.
The Yoddhas, meanwhile, need to bring in their best version to avoid another defeat. But given their current five-match losing streak and their inconsistent defence, U Mumba are expected to come out on top in this contest.
However, kabaddi is a game of unpredictability. A good day for Guman Singh or a surprise performance from Bhavani Rajput could tilt the game unexpectedly.
