YOKOHAMA, Japan (Interstat) — Yokohama SCC hosts Grulla Morioka in a Japan Football League matchup on Saturday, with the home side looking for its first win in the head-to-head series this season.

The two clubs played to a thrilling 3-3 draw in Morioka on June 22. Yokohama SCC enters the contest with momentum, coming off a 3-2 road victory over Atletico Suzuka Club last Saturday. Their form, however, has been inconsistent, with a 5-0 home loss to Veertien Mie and a 2-3 defeat to TIAMO Hirakata in recent weeks.

Grulla Morioka seeks to rebound from a tough 3-1 home loss to Criacao Shinjuku last Saturday. Their recent results show a Jekyll-and-Hyde pattern, with a 4-2 win over Verspah Oita and a 2-0 road victory preceding the loss, but also a heavy 5-1 defeat to Okinawa SV in late September.

Statistical projections present a conflicting outlook. Interstat’s ELO system heavily favors the hosts, giving Yokohama SCC a 72.10 percent probability to win. However, the same organization’s game simulator predicts a 1-1 draw, mirroring the result of their previous encounter.

Kickoff is set for Saturday, Nov. 22, 2025, at Yokohama SCC’s home ground.
