It’s a throwback to the first matchday of the season this weekend, as Atlético Ottawa hosts Cavalry FC in CPL action on Saturday.
In a rematch of both teams’ first game of this 2022 campaign, a 1-0 Ottawa win over Cavalry at TD Place on April 9th, they’re now fittingly getting set to run it back at the same place exactly three months later this Saturday, which only happens to be July 9th.
Returning to April 9th, however, it’s worth using it as a benchmark, as both teams have undergone a lot of changes since then, both in terms of their form, as well as their team selection.
To begin, there are the hosts, Ottawa, who have been a big surprise this year, vaulting up the standings thanks to some cohesive play.
It hasn’t always been exciting, as they’ve scored just 14 goals in 13 games, but thanks to a very solid defensive unit, one that has conceded just 13 goals, they’ve been able to pick up an impressive record of seven wins, three draws and three losses.
As a result, they enter this game in second place in the CPL table, tied with first-place with 24 points, currently riding a positive wave of form that has seen them nab five wins in their last seven games.
Therefore, that means this game is a great chance for Ottawa to make some progress, allowing them to continue their strong run by potentially climbing into first place, depending on how it goes.
“We are (excited),” Ottawa head coach, Carlos González, said. “The message to the team is to approach every game like a final, so we are approaching it the same way that we approach every other game this season, this is a very important game, not only because we play against Cavalry, the leaders of the CPL, but the more important thing is to continue the with the good feelings the team is having.”
