Atlético Ottawa vs Forge FC Preview and Team News
Atlético Ottawa Team News
Atlético Ottawa continued their strong run in the Canadian Premier League with a 2-0 away victory over Cavalry the last time out. More impressive than the win itself is the fact that the team have accrued four consecutive clean sheets and 405 total minutes without conceding a goal in league play.
That marks a significant improvement, as they allowed 15 goals over their first nine league matches.
Thrilling cup match here in Toronto, and @atletiOttawa are semi-final bound.
Story below is now updated with reaction from both sides. https://t.co/2WpG31ohqY

The prognosis is even more encouraging when considering how Atlético Ottawa have performed at home. They’ve won four encounters in a row, finding the back of the net at least three times in each.
Having gone undefeated in their last three home outings against Forge and bagging at least three goals in their previous two wins, the capital club should have a psychological advantage heading into this clash.

The home side shouldn’t have any key players sidelined for this game. There might be a few changes here and there, probably on the three-man defensive line or in the central midfield pairing. Key players such as Ballou Tabla (four goals) and Samuel Salter (league-high nine goals and two assists) are expected to lead the attacking line.
Atlético Ottawa predicted lineup vs Forge FC (3-4-2-1): Ingham; Cloutier, Abatneh, Walker; Antimoro, Aparicio, Castro, Santos; Rodríguez, Tabla; Salter.
Forge FC Team News
When looking at things strictly from a form perspective, Forge have been even better than Atlético Ottawa.
With four wins across their most recent five CPL matches, the Hamilton-based club have been the strongest side in the league over that stretch. They know a win in this matchup would move them to the top position in the standings, though it’s hard to see any squad beating Ottawa at home right now.
Forge’s most recent game was a 2-1 victory over Vancouver. Despite being outshot 15-9 and losing the possession battle, they secured the win and registered a sizable edge in the xG department (2.14 to 1.20).

The Hammers may struggle to slow down the hosts, but their attack should carry them. After all, they’ve scored at least two goals in their last four CPL contests.
The biggest uncertainty lies in who will start between the posts, but Jassem Koleilat should get the nod – he’s featured in 12 of the team’s 14 fixtures. Khadim Kane is the lone regular who will be sidelined due to an injury after he exited the win over Vancouver with a muscular problem midway through the first half.
Forge FC predicted lineup vs Atlético Ottawa (4-3-3): Koleilat; Rama, Nimick, Achinioti-Jonsson, Jevremovic; Jensen, Patton, Bekker; Ampomah, Wright, Massunda.

Atlético Ottawa vs Forge FC Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Atlético Ottawa to win
- Odds: +106 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Atlético Ottawa 2-1 Forge FC
This meeting could easily become a back-and-forth contest, as Atlético Ottawa and Forge are the two best teams in the league and are evenly matched.
However, the former have a clear edge since they’ll have the advantage of playing at home, where they’ve earned four wins in a row. Their run of consecutive clean sheets might end, but their favourites tag isn’t under any threat.
Based on a powerful attack that has found the back of the net multiple times in seven of their last ten games across all competitions, Ottawa should prove too strong for Forge in the final third. The visitors might be forced to play on the counter due to the hosts’ intense pressing, and that doesn’t suit their strengths. It’s unlikely to be a walk in the park for Atlético Ottawa, but they should have enough in them to get the three points.
Atlético Ottawa vs Forge FC Betting Tip
- Pick: Atlético Ottawa to score over 0.5 goals in the first half
- Odds: -124 (Tonybet)
We’ll back Atlético Ottawa’s attacking line once again. They’ve found the back of the net at least once before halftime in each of their last five outings across all competitions in which they’ve scored over 0.5 total goals. Additionally, they’ve scored before the break in three of their last five head-to-head meetings with Forge. We expect that trend to continue this Saturday at TD Place Stadium.
