Halifax’s biggest issue has been putting the ball into the back of the net, scoring just twice through four matches. Bounces haven’t been going their way as well on occasion, with the Wanderers hitting the woodwork three times already — the most in the CPL.
Through five matches, Winnipeg has already conceded 13 goals and has a -10 goal differential. After losing 3-1 to York United last week despite leading at halftime, head coach Phillip Dos Santos stressed the need to cut down the individual mistakes that have let them down in key moments at times this season.
The Wanderers will still be without midfield maestro Lorenzo Callegari on Monday, who is serving the final match of his suspension after being given a straight red card against Atlético Ottawa on April 27 for kicking Manny Aparicio in the chest with a stray high boot.
Valour are expected to be missing goalkeeper Jonathan Viscosi as he nears a return from an injury, while Raphael Ohin could make his season debut next week in Calgary after being given the green light to return to action but the club opting to wait one more week.
