Toronto Croatia and SC Waterloo have both travelled the championship road before. And both have won.
Toronto Croatia have lifted the trophy nine times, Waterloo once.
The Toronto side entered professional soccer in 1956 – this is their 60th year.
Waterloo entered the CSL, which is considered the entry point to the pro game in Canada, in 2011 – this is their fifth year.
Toronto Croatia ended the 2015 regular season second in the standings. Waterloo fourth.
Yet there’s no telling which team should win this weekend’s upcoming CSL Championship. It’s a tough call.
Both teams can score. Adis Hadecic struck 16 goals for Waterloo during the regular season just ended, but Toronto Croatia’s Darren Chambers, Jure Glavina and Josip Keran accounted for 33 of the 57 that found the net. Waterloo’s total output was 34.
Toronto Croatia conceded just 18 goals in the 22-game campaign. Waterloo conceded 27.
Josip Keran is a defender, but scored an amazing 10 goals in Toronto Croatia’s 22 games
Waterloo is at home – awarded the hosting of the 2015 Championship Finals.
