Forge odds: +115 – 45.7%
Draw odds: +255 – 27.3%
Pacific odds: +280 – 27.0%
It’s interesting to see that the bookmakers as well expect under 2.5 goals at -114 (53.27% likelihood). We believe the two teams are indeed evenly matched but the edge goes to the home side, as Forge have a 45.7% win probability ahead of the game on the 24th of September. Coach Smirniotis’ boys are the expected winners at +115, while Pacific’s odds at +280 barely grant them a 27.0% shot at the three points.
Forge vs Pacific Lineups & Team News
Forge
Forge clawed their way to the three points in the match against Valour last week. It was a much-needed victory, as otherwise, Forge would’ve been eight points behind Cavalry in the fight for 1st place. With 18 shots at target, perhaps Forge should’ve scored more against Valour but soccer can be cruel sometimes.
Predicted lineup – Gazdov (GK), Mukumbilwa, Meilleur-Giguere, Didic, Dada-Luke, Yeates, Young, Aparicio, Manneh, Daniels & Reid
Pacific
With 14 shots at target, seven on target, and 52.0% possession, Pacific deserved their 1-4 win over poor Nine Stripes. York United didn’t know what hit them, as the game at York Lions Stadium was completely under Pacific’s control. However, we can’t see Pacific replicating this sturdy display against Forge.
Predicted lineup – Gazdov (GK), Mukumbilwa, Meilleur-Giguere, Didic, Dada-Luke, Yeates, Young, Aparicio, Manneh, Daniels & Reid
Player to Watch: Beni Badibanga
Beni Badibanga was coach Bobby Smyrniotis’ hero in the match against lackluster Valour last week. The result on the scoreboard until the 84th minute of the game was 2-2, which was bad news for Forge. However, Beni Badinabga entered the pitch and scored a lovely 85th-minute winner to give Forge much-needed three points. We have Beni down as the player to watch in our Forge vs Pacific prediction not because he’s one of the key players at coach Smyrniotis’ disposal but because we believe that he’ll be eager to prove he should be considered more than a bench warmer for coach Smyrniotis.
