Player to watch: Kyle Bekker
It’s understandable why we have Bekker down as the player to watch in our professional Cavalry vs Forge prediction, isn’t it? Not only is he the visitors’ captain, but he is also the leading creator for coach Smyrniotis. He added seven assists to his tally in 2024.

Second player to watch: Kwasi Poku
Kwasi Poku is the top finisher for Forge. He found the net on eight occasions and it will be interesting to see if he will be able to bump his tally up a bit with a sturdy display against Cavalry.
