Last place in the Canadian Premier League takes on fifth place with just three points keeping HFX Wanderers FC and Valour FC adrift of one another after eight games in the league so far.
Both sides finished outside of the top four in the previous season and heading into this match, the two clubs are not looking like improving much on that feat.

Wanderers have failed to win any of the first eight games in 2023 and have lost twice.
More teams have lost more games than them, but with six draws from only eight matches, it now means they've scored only six times and let in 11 goals.
Wanderers lost to Atletico 2-0 last time out and drew 1-1 with Pacific just before that as a goal from Aidan Daniels secured a point away from home for the club.
A loss to York United at home in a 3-0 hammering came before that draw, as Wanderers also managed to secure a point against Cavalry in a 2-2 match.
Theo Collomb and Zachary Fernandez scored a goal each that day, as both finishes came towards the end of the first 45 minutes in stoppage time.
Wanderers have also drawn with Forge, Atletico and Vancouver FC this season and failed to get out of the Canadian Championship preliminary round when they lost 3-1 to Atletico back in April.
These two sides have also already met once this season with Valour and Wanderers playing out a 0-0 draw. Wanderers were the better team that day, however, which is rare for them away from home.
The away side that day had five shots on target from 12 efforts and saw 54% of the ball, compared to just the two shots on target for the home outfit.
Last time out, Valour drew 1-1 with York United after an equaliser from Matteo de Brienne in the second half.
They also drew 0-0 with Vancouver just before that draw and drew 1-1 with Pacific too, as Pacifque Niyongabire scored an equaliser in the second half.
Valour now sit fifth in the league table and have also drawn six games from just eight matches.
The difference, however, is how Valour secured a win earlier in the season by beating York United away from home after a goal from Anthony Novak alongside an own goal.
Forebet predicts another draw here and for the game to see under 2.5 goals
