Match 81 of Pro Kabaddi 2025 features an exciting encounter between the three-time champions Patna Pirates and the reigning champions Haryana Steelers.
Both teams are intensely competitive, with this match serving as a highly-anticipated rematch of last year's final. They will be battling for crucial points to solidify their positions as the league stage moves into its final leg.
Patna Pirates, led by their new captain, defender Ankit Jaglan, will look to avenge their recent losses to the Steelers. Their attack is very strong, relying heavily on the raiding sensation Ayan, who is currently among the top raiders of the season.

Haryana Steelers, on the other hand, are a well-balanced unit with an in-form defence and consistent raiding. The form of their raider Shivam Patare, who clinched 15 points in their last face-off, and the leadership of captain Jaideep Kuldeep will be crucial. This contest is a fascinating tactical battle between Patna's explosive raiding and Haryana's superior team consistency.
The Pro Kabaddi League head-to-head record is heavily in favour of the Haryana Steelers, who have dominated the Pirates in their recent encounters, including the final last season. This gives the Steelers a significant psychological edge, but the Pirates will be eager to prove a point with their refreshed squad.

Patna Pirates vs Haryana Steelers Pro Kabaddi 2025 Match Prediction
This encounter is expected to be a close, high-intensity affair. The Patna Pirates are heavily reliant on Ayan and Maninder Singh to deliver Super 10s, as their defence has struggled for consistency this season, ranking among the lower half of the league in successful tackle percentage. The Pirates' path to victory depends on Ayan replicating his blistering form and their corners and covers finding their rhythm early in the match to win All-Outs.
The Haryana Steelers, known for their disciplined approach under coach Manpreet Singh, excel with a balanced unit. Their raiding trio of Vinay, Shivam Patare, and Naveen Kumar is capable of consistent returns, while their defensive core of Jaideep Dahiya and Rahul Sethpal is formidable. The Steelers have historically managed to contain the primary raiders of the Pirates, and they will look to employ a similar strategy here.
Given the Steelers' recent dominance over the Pirates and their strong defensive unit, which excels in crucial moments, they hold a marginal advantage. However, if Patna's star raiders perform to their potential, they can certainly cause an upset.
Prediction: Haryana Steelers to win a competitive match.
