Important battle in the cellar of the Premier League, with both Valour and Edmonton going through more anxiety than glee. This game is a classic "six-pointer" with the hosting team positioned 6th and the visitors in 8th spot.

  • Edmonton have the most conceded goals (19) in Premier League

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1300 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Valour have less rest than Edmonton in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Premier League game only four days ago. This match was also played here at IG Field. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Edmonton have had more rest.

Edmonton form and stats

It's not happening yet for Edmonton on their Premier League travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? It's a growing despair in Edmonton as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

This game can not go any worse than the previous one, the home defeat versus Forge with 3-4 on the scoreboard. As you can tell from the result, the match against Forge was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?

A 1-2 loss hosting Atlético Ottawa before that.

The attacking power of Edmonton when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. Edmonton are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 2 goals in these matches.
