TAIPEI, Taiwan (Interstat) — A crucial late-season fixture in the Taiwan Football Premier League will see Kaohsiung County Taipower host Taichung Rock on Sunday, with both sides seeking momentum after recent setbacks.

The match, set for Dec. 7, 2025, is a rematch of a Sept. 14 meeting, which Taipower won 2-0 on the road. According to Interstat’s game simulator, another narrow victory is projected for the hosts, with a final score of 1-0.

Taipower (4-5-3) enters the contest looking to rebound from a disappointing 3-0 away defeat to Tainan City on Nov. 23. That loss snapped a modest unbeaten run and highlighted defensive vulnerabilities. Their form has been inconsistent, with a 4-3 victory over Ming Chuan University on Oct. 26 showcasing their attacking capability, followed by a 2-1 loss to Tatung on Nov. 2.

The visiting Taichung Rock (3-6-3) are in a more precarious position, having failed to win in their last five matches across all competitions. They are also reeling from a 3-0 loss to Hang Yuan on Nov. 23. Their season has been marked by draws, including 2-2 results against AC Taipei and Tatung, and a 3-3 thriller with Tainan City. A 1-0 win over Ming Chuan University on Nov. 2 stands as their only victory since August.

Head-to-head history firmly favors the hosts. Taipower has dominated the recent encounters, winning both meetings this season by identical 2-0 scorelines. Taichung Rock’s attack has been stifled by the Taipower defense, failing to score in the last 180 minutes of play between the clubs.

For Taipower, the strategy will likely focus on defensive solidity to capitalize on their psychological edge. For Taichung Rock, the mission is clear: find a way to break through a defense that has repeatedly blanked them and reverse a trend of costly defensive lapses that have led to a string of draws and losses.

Sunday’s result could significantly shape the final table standings as the TFPL season enters its decisive phase. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. local time at the National Stadium in Kaohsiung.
