In-form U Mumba, high flying Telugu Titans and home team Bengaluru Bulls will look to find momentum on their home turf as the Pro Kabaddi League's Bengaluru leg starts, here tomorrow.

Bulls will be hoping to get maximum points from these four games.

"We have hundred per cent chance of qualifying for the semifinals. Last year also, we qualified for the semis from this venue," Bulls Coach Randhir Singh told PTI here.

Compared to Delhi, Bulls are slightly better placed going into their home leg. With 31 points and five matches in hand, they need to win three of those matches to secure play-off qualifications.
 

"We have five matches left and if we win two, it would be good, but if we win three, we will qualify, without any doubt," Singh said.

A draw or a loss by less than seven points, which will fetch them one point, will not derail their path to the play-offs.

The hosts' chances of qualifying for the play-offs look bright but one only needs to glance at the form of one of their rivals in Delhi at home to emphasize the importance of maintaining momentum once the team begins their home leg.

The Bulls look good but are over reliant on captain Manjeet Chhillar and star raider Ajay Thakur. Manjeet is consistent whereas Ajay can be up one day and down the other like Rahul Chaudhari.

Singh, hoever, said Chillar, Thakur and some other players are carrying injuries, but the star duo will be playing the match tomorrow.
