Valour will be hoping they can bounce back from Wednesday when they host HFX Wanderers on Saturday afternoon.

The Winnipeg-based club conceded an 86th minute goal as they fell to a 1-0 loss against Cavalry FC in a mid-week match up, but head back home to meet the Halifax side.

Valour (1-2-0) have lost their only home game of the season after a 2-1 defeat against FC Edmonton.

HFX (1-1-0) recently defeat Forge FC with a 2-1 win courtesy of goals from Akeem Garcia and a late winner from Luis Perea.

They also will be preparing for a mid-week game next Wednesday as they will meet Vaughan in the Canadian Championship first round.

This is the first of five meetings between the two sides over the course of the spring and fall seasons.

Both sides come into the game with no fresh injuries or suspensions and are expected to field fully strengthened sides.

Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon at Investors Group Field in Winnipeg. The game will be streamed in Canada on OneSoccer.ca.
