It’s without fanfare that FC Vorkuta is so impressive while winning every match, home and away, since its season opener on May 25. But the toughest test so far may well be the visit to Birchmount Stadium in Scarborough this weekend to meet a home side that’s sitting second in the standings with an eye-catching 100 per cent record home record while conceding just a single goal in the four home games played so far this campaign. Only five goals have been allowed in all games played by the east Toronto team, a per game average that’s the best in the league.
And Scarborough are not shy in front of goal, having found the net 20 times in the seven games played, so the balance spells a determined effort this 2019 season to clinch a league title or overall championship that’s been elusive since entering the league in 2015. It may begin on Sunday.
Vorkuta visits Scarborough Sunday evening, an 8 pm kickoff.
Ukraine United have yet to mount a serious bid, having been defeated twice in the five games played so far this season, but a more positive record is expected as the league moves into a busy mid-season period. Last year’s First division title winner is at home to CSC Mississauga at Centennial Stadium Sunday afternoon.
The weekend opens with the first of three First Division matches scheduled for Huron Park in Mississauga with Hamilton City visiting for a clash with Real Mississauga Saturday evening, a 7 pm start.
