• The last five matches between the two clubs resulted in four victories for Forge and one draw.
• Pacific’s last win over Forge was recorded on the 11^th of June, 2023.

Correct score prediction: Pacific 1-2 Forge

Forge are already in the next round of the competition. However, this doesn’t mean that coach Bobby Smyrniotis is going to throw in the towel. We expect to see a sturdy display by the visitors at Starlight Stadium accompanied by a 1-2 win, as goalkeeper-in-chief Emil Gazdov is suspended, which will leave Pacific vulnerable.

Pacific team news and form: Squad issues for Pacific

Pacific’s manager won’t be able to count on Gazdov. The shot-stopper saw the red in last week’s match and it is now up to Melvin to step up and be the difference for his team. However, his chances don’t look good, as Forge are the title contenders.

Predicted lineup: Melvin (GK), Qunitana, Dada-Luke, Meilleur-Giguere, Grego-Taylor, Yeates, Young, Lamothe, Keshavarz, Dyer & Zanatta

Player to watch: Kyle Bekker

Some Forge players will receive a well-earned rest in the game against Pacific. Not Bekker. He is the team captain and he needs to lead the team in every possible game. We are sure that the midfielder will be among the starters for Forge this week, as he is the best creator on the team, with seven assists to his name.

Second player to watch: Tristan Borges

As mentioned earlier in our Pacific vs Forge prediction, we expect to see coach Smyrniotis make changes, which will likely affect Borges. We expect to see him on the bench this week, but Smyrniotis has plenty of wonderful players to prove our Pacific vs Forge predictions correct.
