Player to watch: Tristan Borges

Winger Borges has 11 goal contributions for his club so far this season. He scored six goals and added five assists to his already impressive tally. We trust his march will resume at York Lions Stadium, as our York United vs Forge predictions could use a difference-maker such as him.

Second player to watch: Matteo Schiavoni

Schiavoni was the hero coach Smyrniotis needed in the match against Vancouver FC last week. He scored a last-minute winner for his club, which might force his manager to reconsider his stature on the team.
