TOKYO (Interstat) — A matchup of Japan Football League clubs heading in opposite directions will take place Saturday when league-leading Reinmeer Aomori hosts struggling Asuka FC.

Reinmeer Aomori (16-8-8) enters the contest atop the table and is coming off a dominant 4-1 road victory over Minebea Mitsumi FC last Sunday. The club has been strong across all competitions this season, posting a 20-11-8 overall record.
