Vancouver FC - Forge FC

Canada Premier League - Willoughby Community Park

Can Forge get up from the knock they received against HFX Wanderers a couple of days ago and beat coach Afshin Ghotbi’s Vancouver on the 22^nd of September? The Iranian manager’s players will enjoy the home-field support at Willoughby Community Park Stadium but we doubt this will be enough for anything impressive. Find out more about our Vancouver vs Forge betting tips below.

Vancouver team news and form: Ghotbi needs to change things

Vancouver got brutalized 3-0 at Starlight Stadium last week. The ever-present Emil Gazdov was a force to be reckoned with, as he didn’t concede a single goal, making a couple of vital saves, which is a reason for coach Ghotbi to make much-needed changes to his starting XI.

Predicted lineup: Irving (GK), Cameron, Enyou, Romeo, Chung, Garcia, Rommens, Fry, Sellouf, Diaz & Bah

Forge team news and form: Minor blunder won’t shake Forge

Sure, the 3-0 defeat versus HFX Wanderers was a very displeasing result, but we are convinced that the visitors have the required potential to shake the rustiness off. They couldn’t produce a single shot on target against HFX, but they will surely do better versus Vancouver.

Predicted lineup: Koleilat (GK), Metusala, Achinioti-Jonsson, Duncan, Duran, Bekker, Jensen, Hojabrpour, Cisse, Choiniere & Badibanga

Player to watch: Kyle Bekker

Bekker wasn’t among the starters for his team in the game against HFX Wanderers and maybe that was the reason Forge lost. The visitors do seem lost without their captain, but we expect him to make a return for this week’s match at Willoughby Community Park Stadium, which is a big plus in favor of our Vancouver vs Forge prediction.

Second player to watch: Tristan Borges

If Borges makes an appearance in the second half of the game against Vancouver, he’d have a great chance of sliding one past the home team’s shot-stopper, as he is the key finisher for the visitors, with eight goals to his name this season.
