With both teams hungry to bounce back from recent poor form, this game promises to be a nail-biter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Current Form &amp; Standings of Both Teams<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kabaddiarena.com\/en\/team\/haryana-steelers\/\" data-type=\"sp_team\" data-id=\"1699\">Haryana Steelers <\/a><\/strong>are currently going through a <strong>rough patch<\/strong>.

However, the team is hoping for a fresh start in Delhi and will take some comfort from their strong track record against Patna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With <strong>6 wins in 13 matches<\/strong>, the Steelers are currently sitting at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kabaddiarena.com\/en\/table\/pro-kabaddi-points-table-2025-pkl-12\/\" data-type=\"sp_table\" data-id=\"42\">7th place on the points table<\/a><\/strong> with <strong>12 points<\/strong> and a <strong>score difference of -23<\/strong>. What\u2019s worrying is that they\u2019re on a <strong>five-match losing streak<\/strong>, something they will desperately want to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most successful franchises in Pro Kabaddi history with <a href=\"https:\/\/kabaddiarena.com\/en\/pro-kabaddi-winners-list-pkl-champions\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1685\"><strong>three championship titles<\/strong>,<\/a> <strong>Patna Pirates<\/strong> are having a season they\u2019d like to forget. Their campaign in <strong>PKL 12 has been disappointing<\/strong>, to say the least. After playing <strong>11 matches<\/strong>, they\u2019ve managed to win only <strong>3<\/strong>, placing them at the <strong>bottom of the table (12th position)<\/strong> with just <strong>6 points<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In their last outing, they were thrashed by Tamil Thalaivas with a <strong>37-56 loss<\/strong>, which has raised serious questions about their combinations and team selection. The biggest dilemma they now face is whether to continue backing the promising youngster <strong>Ayan Lohchab<\/strong> or bring back the experience of <strong>Maninder Singh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Patna Pirates vs Haryana Steelers <strong>Head-to-Head Record:<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Total Matches Played:<\/strong> 15<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Haryana Steelers Wins:<\/strong> 9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Patna Pirates Wins:<\/strong> 5<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ties:<\/strong> 1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Haryana Steelers have had the upper hand in recent meetings, <strong>winning the last five matches<\/strong> against Patna \u2014 including the all-important <strong>Season 11 Final<\/strong>.

The young raider has shown consistent performance and fearlessness on the mat. His energy, agility, and hunger to prove himself have been noticeable. Against a team like Haryana, with a solid defence, <strong>Ayan will need to deliver a big performance<\/strong> if Patna are to stand any chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Shivam Patare (Haryana Steelers)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While <strong>Vinay<\/strong> often steals the limelight, it\u2019s <strong>Shivam Patare<\/strong> who could be the game-changer for Haryana. A player capable of winning matches on his own, Shivam\u2019s ability to break through defensive lines and pull off crucial raids makes him a key player.
