TAIPEI, Taiwan (Interstat) — AC Taipei will look to capitalize on home advantage and a significant disparity in recent form when it hosts struggling Ming Chuan University in a Taiwan Football Premier League match Sunday.

The fixture at Taipei Municipal Stadium is a rematch of a Sept. 28 encounter, which AC Taipei won 2-1 on the road. According to Interstat’s game simulator, the return leg could be more lopsided, projecting a 3-0 victory for the hosts.

AC Taipei (8-5-3) enters the match on a more stable footing. The club is unbeaten in its last three outings, including a 2-2 draw with league-leading Tainan City last Sunday and another 2-2 draw with Tatung the week prior. Its last defeat came over two months ago. The team has demonstrated resilience, earning results against top-half opponents.

In stark contrast, Ming Chuan University (1-14-1) is mired in a profound slump. The visitors have lost eight consecutive matches, often by heavy margins. They have been outscored 23-1 during this current skid, including a 5-0 loss to Tainan City and a 7-0 defeat to Hang Yuan in recent weeks. Their last result was a 3-1 loss to TFAFuturo on Dec. 14. Their lone victory this season was a 2-1 win over TFAFuturo back on Sept. 21.

The head-to-head history and trajectory of both clubs strongly favors AC Taipei. Beyond the September win, AC Taipei’s attacking players will be confident against a Ming Chuan defense that has conceded multiple goals in 13 of its 16 matches this season.

For Ming Chuan University, the match represents a desperate opportunity to stop the hemorrhaging of goals and find a rare positive result before the season’s end. However, facing an AC Taipei side that has lost only once at home this campaign presents a formidable challenge.

Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. local time Sunday.
