HIRAKATA, Japan (Interstat) — TIAMO Hirakata, looking to solidify its position in the Japan Football League, hosts a struggling Yokohama SCC side on Friday.

The matchup presents a stark contrast in form. TIAMO Hirakata (18-15-5) enters on a high note after a 2-0 road victory over Verspah Oita last Saturday. The home side has been potent offensively, averaging over two goals per game in recent weeks.

Yokohama SCC (7-14-6), meanwhile, is reeling from a 5-0 home defeat to Veertien Mie on Oct. 31. That loss snapped a modest two-game winning streak for Yokohama, highlighting a season of inconsistency.

In the previous head-to-head meeting this season, Yokohama SCC secured a 2-1 home win over TIAMO Hirakata on April 13.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, TIAMO Hirakata is projected to avenge that earlier loss with a 2-1 victory on its home pitch. The data reflects TIAMO Hirakata’s superior record and recent momentum against a Yokohama squad that has conceded 12 goals in its last three JFL matches.

Kickoff is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 7, 2025.
