Essential HFX Wanderers vs Vancouver Predictions
HFX Wanderers host the newly established Vancouver on the 29th of April at Wanderers Ground, Halifax, Nova Scotia. Will coach Patrice Gheisar’s boys get the better of the new kid on the block? You’ll find out the answer to this question in a second!
Contents
Draw or Vancouver
New team or not, Vancouver are performing well. That’s why we think Patrice Gheisar’s boys are in for a beating on the 29th of April. Vancouver lost their Canadian Premier League debut versus Pacific on the 16th of April but coach Afshin Ghotbi’s side left a good impression on our soccer experts. The 59-year-old manager opted for an ultra-offensive 4-3-3 formation which for the better part of 90 minutes, held Pacific away from Vancouver’s penalty box. If only it weren’t for that fantastic 81st-minute Manny Aparicio stunner.
However, our HFX Wanderers vs Vancouver predictions are mostly based on the visitors’ last game. They picked themselves up from the dust to grab a much-needed 1-2 win over York United at York Lions Stadium.
Under 0.5 Second-Half Goals
Yes, Vancouver pipped York United 1-2 last week but all three goals were scored before the 22 on the pitch went in the tunnel for a break. First, it was Shaan Hundal who opened the score only for Walter Sandoval to add a second goal to Vancouver’s tab. A 35th-minute goal by Markiyan Voytsekhovskyy was all we saw for the rest of the game.
And it’s not like HFX Wanderers are that much productive. Both of their games ended with 1-1 ties the first of which had goals only in the first half of the game.

HFX Wanderers odds: +100 – 50.0%
Draw odds: +260 – 28.0%
Vancouver odds: +310 – 22.0%
HFX Wanderers are the expected winners with a solid 50.0% win probability ahead of Saturday’s brawl. Vancouver did well since the start of the season but it will take a while for the new team to be considered favorite against anyone. That’s why the bookies barely give them a 22.0% chance for the three points on the 29th of April.
HFX Wanderers vs Vancouver Lineups & Team News
HFX Wanderers
The good news is that HFX Wanderers have no Canadian Premier League losses. The bad news is that coach Patrice Gheisar’s boys have no victories either. With two draws in two league games, HFX Wanderers are rightfully down to 6th place. They even lost the Canadian Championship game against Atletico Ottawa on the 20th of April with a 1-3 score.
Predicted lineup – Fillion (GK), James, Loughrey, Nimick, Fernandez, Callegari, Watson, Ferrin, Rampersad, Timoteo & Nwafornso
Vancouver
Wasteful York United were left shellshocked on the 22nd of April when newly established Vancouver came to visit. The game at York Lions Stadium ended positively for coach Afshin Ghotbi’s boys as they pipped York United 1-2. The home side had an abundance of great goalscoring opportunities. If only it weren’t for Irving’s catlike reflexes.
Predicted lineup – Irving (GK), Bakare, Romeo, Martinez, Crawford, Simmons, Zadeh, Chung, Bitar, Hundal & Sandoval
Starting Lineups

Player to Watch: Gael Sandoval
Gael Sandoval’s market value is set at €800k. He’s the most valuable Vancouver player and as such, he’ll surely be among coach Afshin Ghotbi’s starting XI. All eyes will be on him on the 29th of April and he’ll have to prove his worth.
The board spent a lot of money on him but already we see him adapt well to his new surroundings. He scored the winning goal for Vancouver in the match against York United on the 22nd of April so with him among the starters, our HFX Wanderers vs Vancouver predictions will have a tad higher chance of success.
