Essential Vancouver vs Valour Predictions & Betting Lines

Valour to Win
Perhaps some might consider Valour the underdog in this race as coach Afshin Ghotbi’s boys will count on the home-field advantage to be the difference but we beg to differ. Playing at Willoughby Community Park Stadium didn’t seem to matter much in the previous game at home for Vancouver. It was a devastating 0-5 loss versus otherwise lackluster Atletico Ottawa.
If coach Ghotbi’s side’s display is as half as poor as what we saw on the 14th of May, our Vancouver vs Valour predictions will surely succeed.
Especially, when you take into account the fact that Vancouver didn’t make a single shot on target in the Atletico Ottawa game a couple of weeks ago.
Kian Williams to Score Anytime
Kian Williams bagged a 30th-minute opener versus Forge on the 13th of May, and while it wasn’t enough for a point, it sure gave Valour a fighting chance against their prolific opponent. Furthermore, he’s responsible for the point coach Phillip Dos Santos’ boys earned in the 1-1 draw against Cavalry on the first day of May.
With two goals to his name and an assist, the attacking midfielder is simultaneously the best scorer and the top creator at coach Santos’ disposal this season.
The up-and-coming 22-year-old has a bright future ahead of him and we expect him to help make our Vancouver vs Valour predictions a success with another solid display with the Valour jersey.

Vancouver odds: +195 – 32.0%
Draw odds: +310 – 27.0%
Valour odds: +135 – 41.0%
Surprisingly, a draw is valued quite highly at +310 (27.0%). The chance for us to see the two teams is high as the one-point gap is no accident. However, Valour remain the bookie’s expected winners at +135 as they have a solid 41.0% win probability ahead of Monday’s head-to-head against newly established Vancouver.
Vancouver vs Valour Lineups & Team News
Vancouver
As we mentioned before in our Vancouver vs Valour predictions, there’s a measly one-point gap between these two in the Canadian Premier League ranking. If Coach Ghotbi wants to change that, he’ll have to motivate his boys to do far better as the display so far has been what you’d expect from a newly established team.
Predicted lineup – Irving (GK), Kane, Bakare, Martinez, Crawford, Simmons, Zadeh, Chung, Bitar, Hundval & Sandoval
Valour
Valour rank 4th in the bookie’s predictions as to who’ll win the Canadian Premier League this season. At +750, coach Phillipe Dos Santos’ boys might make a giant leap forward if they do what’s expected of them and crush lackluster Vancouver on Monday. It would be a second league win for Valour and that’s a bit disappointing, given the team’s stature.
Predicted lineup – Yesli (GK), de Brienne, Samake, Cela, Campbell, Sanchez, Gutierrez, Ponce, Williams, Niyongabire & Novak
Starting Lineups
*Starting lineups are usually announced 1hr before the kick-off
Player to Watch: Shaan Hundal
We are convinced in our Vancouver vs Valour predictions. As much as we can be when you know that Shaan Hundal will make an appearance for the home side. He’s the leading Canadian Premier League scorer this season.
With three goals to his name in this campaign, Hundal is proving to be one hell of an asset at coach Afshin Ghotbi’s disposal. He’s singlehandedly responsible for 75.0% of all of Vancouver’s goals this season and if that doesn’t make him the player to watch on Monday, nothing does. There are very few positive things we can say about Vancouver’s season so far but Hundal’s performance is definitely at the top of the list.
