Essential York United vs Valour Predictions & Betting Lines

In the last game of matchday 1 in the Canadian Premier League, York United hosts top dogs Valour at York Lions Stadium. Stay tuned to get the scoop on this match in these fantastic York United vs Vallour betting tips.

York United to Win

York United are the expected winners on Sunday as they possess a 57.0% chance to win Sunday’s clash compared to Valour’s 23.0%. It would take a massive effort from the visitors to cause an upset at York Lions Stadium.

The home field support is one of the key things that coach Martin Nash will count on as York Lions Stadium is among the more intimidating venues in Canada. Valour should respect the fact that York United are favorites and don’t try any ludicrous attempts.

Furthermore, Valour’s end of the campaign last year didn’t go as planned. The team couldn’t win a single one of the last six games and they aren’t about to start winning now.

Over 2.5 Goals

As we mentioned previously in our York United vs Valour prediction, all six of Valour’s last Canadian Premier League games ended with either the team losing or clawing to a draw. And that’s due to Valour’s poor defensive line.

Valour conceded 34 goals. Only three teams had a defensive record worse than that – Edmonton, Wanderers, and York United.

Shocking as it may seem, seven of the last 10 matches between the two sides ended with over 2.5 goals and the most common outcome is the 2-1 win.

Draw odds: +325 – 20.0%

Valour odds: +295 – 23.0%

A draw and a Valour win at +295 (23.0%) are almost identical in terms of the likelihood of being the final outcomes. However, York United’s odds at -153 make them the expected winners with a whopping 57.0% win probability. There should be no surprises on Sunday.

York United vs Valour Lineups & Team News

York United

With nine victories, seven draws, and 12 losses in the regular part of the 2022 Canadian Premier League season, York United’s display was poor. There’s no question about it. Will coach Martin Nash’s 1-0-3 record take a dip or will the 47-year-old manager find a way to get the three points at the start? We’ll find out soon enough.

Predicted lineup – Giantsopoulos (GK), Abzi, Wilson, Zator, N’Sa, Ferrari, Hernandez, Toussaint, De Rosario, Cabrera & Johnston

Valour

In contrast to Martin Nash’s statistics, coach Phillip Dos Santos has a solid 3-0-2 record against York United but we doubt that alone will be enough for anything more than an honorable loss. Yes, Valour were above York United in the 2022 race but they had zero victories in the last five games.

Predicted lineup – Sirois (GK), Baquero, Cebara, Romeo, Pena, Fordyce, Levis, Rea, Catavolo, Akio & Dyer

Starting Lineups

*Starting lineups are usually announced 1hr before the kick-off

Player to Watch: Osaze De Rosario

One thing we can certainly say about York United’s fans is that they are on cloud nine about the fact that York United’s board and Osaze De Rosario reached an agreement about prolonging the latter’s deal with the club.

It’s a vital win for the team as Osaze De Rosario bagged 12 goals last season and became the top finisher on the team. He’ll surely be among the key performers at York Lions Stadium on Sunday and his sheer presence on the pitch will be a huge boost to our York United vs Valour predictions.
