Contents
Forge to Win
Our primary Forge vs Vancouver prediction will set the tone for the entire article. We expect coach Bobby Smyrniotis to defeat his Irani rival on the 20th of May. First of all, the match will be held at Tim Hortons Field. And we all saw last week how confident Force can get when performing at home.
The 3-2 win over arch-rival Valour was a performance to savor and we anticipate seeing a similar display in this Saturday’s brawl.
Sure, it will be a first-ever clash between the two sides but seeing as coach Afshin Ghotbi’s boys couldn’t make a single shot on target last week, we feel confident that Forge will indeed poach the three points.
Over 2.5 Forge Goals
With goals galore in the previous Canadian Premier League fixture, we feel confident that this week’s games will be just as thrilling. Especially the Forge vs Vancouver one.
First of all, our Forge vs Vancouver predictions considered the two teams’ last matches. While Vancouver were busy getting destroyed 0-5 at home, Forge were pipping Valour 3-2 at Tim Hortons Field.
And one thing is certain – Valour are a far sturdier foe than newly promoted Vancouver. Bobby Smyrniotis’ side should have no issues bagging three or more.

Forge vs Vancouver Lineups & Team News
Forge
Success didn’t elude coach Bobby Smyrniotis last week when Valour came to visit. The brawl at Tim Hortons Field wasn’t the one-sided affair experts thought it’d be but still, the home team emerged victorious. After the 3-2 win for coach Bobby Smyrniotis’ side, we thought it would be a good idea to base our Forge vs Vancouver predictions on a solid display from the hosts.
Predicted lineup – Henry (GK), Rama, James, Samuel, Owolabi-Belewu, Achinioti-Jonsson, Bekker, Campbell, Sissoko, Borges & Hamilton
Vancouver
After the solid start to the 2023 Canadian Premier League campaign, coach Afshin Ghotbi’s boys managed to blow it all away last week. The head-to-head versus Atletico Ottawa ended catastrophically for the Irani manager and his team. The visitors at Willoughby Community Park Stadium thrashed Vancouver 0-5 in a game in which Vancouver couldn’t produce a single shot on target.
Predicted lineup – Irving (GK), Bakare, Kane, Martinez, Crawford, Simmons, Zadeh, Chung, Bitar, Hundal & Sandoval

Player to Watch: Jordan Hamilton
Jordan Hamilton and Woobens Pacius both scored twice this season and as a result, they are now Forge’s leading goalscorers in the 2023 Canadian Premier League race. While Pacius had a better start to the season, Hamilton is certainly picking up the pace.
His lovely 33rd-minute equalizer versus Valour last week gave Forge’s players wings to go out there and brush their rivals aside for a thrilling 3-2 win at Tim Hortons Field. Coach Bobby Smyrniotis is among the most experienced managers in the league and he’s very well aware of the fact that if something isn’t broken, you don’t fix it. Our Forge vs Vancouver predictions should be safe as long as much-admired Hamilton remains on the pitch.
