Back with another edition of Mac & Milty! In today’s episode, they discuss Milty’s take on Forge FC’s loss to Valour, highlight standout performers after an undefeated July, and analyze Atletico Ottawa’s current form after two difficult losses. They also draw parallels between Ottawa and Forge players that make this matchup so close and entertaining to watch.

Key Takeaways:

• Similar to Benni’s routine on the Forge side, Valour set the tone early last weekend with a crossbar hit and an early goal.
• Benni has been out for a few games with an upper-body injury, but they agree that his style of play adds a level of flair that is missed in the Forge attack.
• The attention to Kwasi Poku’s lack of scoring against Valour shows that he has set a high bar for himself. With his run in behind, he contributed to Borges’ goal.
• Ottawa lacks momentum coming into this matchup, coming off a 2-1 loss to Cavalry and a 4-1 loss to York before that.
• Ruben Del Campo will be a player to watch this weekend, competing with Kwasi in the golden boot race. Ollie Basset and Aboo Sissoko will also be dangerous in the midfield.
