York United vs Valour Preview and Team News

York United Team News

York United haven’t been the most consistent side in recent weeks, but they enter this contest on a three-game undefeated streak in the Canadian Premier League.

Their most recent fixture was a 4-3 loss to Atlético Ottawa in the Canadian Championship on July 8, but even in that performance, the squad looked solid enough to believe they shouldn’t have problems against lesser teams in Canada.

As good as they looked in the loss to Ottawa and in their recent CPL matches, they’ve also endured a fair share of struggles of late. 

The hosts have won just three of their previous 10 contests across all competitions, but their recent improvements aren’t a fluke. York United have posted a higher xG than their opponents in each of their three victories.

They’ve been tweaking their lineup on a game-to-game basis in recent weeks, so there’s a scenario in which they might make a few choice-based moves. 

That said, they shouldn’t be missing any key players due to injury. One player to watch for York United is Julian Altobelli, who ranks as the second top scorer in the CPL this season with seven goals. 

York United predicted lineup vs Valour (3-4-2-1): Pavela; Singh, Adekugbe, León; Ferrazzo, Kibato, Accettola, Botello; Reid, Ferrin; Altobelli.

Valour Team News

If York United have been on the rise in recent weeks, the same can’t be said for Valour. They got eliminated by the Vancouver Whitecaps in the quarterfinals of the Canadian Championship on July 9, but that was an expected outcome. The Whitecaps are on a completely different level, and Valour looked outmatched on both sides of the ball.

The elimination from that tournament allows the club to focus entirely on the domestic front. However, their recent results in the CPL haven’t been the best. 

The team are riding a three-game losing streak, with defensive frailties at the heart of their woes. They’ve allowed at least three goals in each of those defeats.

If Valour want to get anything out of this clash, then Kian Williams will have to be at his best. The striker is their most reliable attacking weapon, but the 25-year-old English forward has scored just one goal in his last nine appearances across all competitions. 

The visitors won’t be missing any key players for this matchup, so they should be able to field a strong XI in their quest to snap this losing run.

Valour predicted lineup vs York United (4-2-3-1): Himaras; Fernández, Romeo, Egwu, Alarcón; Ohin, Figueiredo; Twardek, Facchineri, Faria; Williams.

York United vs Valour Prediction, Odds

The 4-3 loss against Atlético Ottawa in the Canadian Championship perfectly summed up York United’s season so far. They can be dangerous on the attacking third but tend to struggle on the defensive end. However, they shouldn’t have many problems at the back against a Valour side that have scored a league-worst 10 goals in 12 matches.

Given that, it wouldn’t be surprising to see York United secure a comfortable victory in front of their fans. 

Even though their inconsistent record at home doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence, the way they’ve played in recent games should be enough to get past Valour. The visitors might be able to find the back of the net, but the hosts should win either way.

Don’t rule out the possibility of York United winning by two or more goals. Considering Valour’s massive defensive issues, which are amplified when playing on the road, and the fact that the squad have scored at least two goals in three of their last four contests across all competitions, that seems to be a very likely scenario.

York United vs Valour Betting Tip

York United’s home matches have averaged a mere 2.1 total goals per game this season, with the squad scoring seven times and conceding six. Their last three fixtures at York Lions Stadium have ended with under 2.5 total goals, but that streak is expected to end this Sunday. They’ve shown enough attacking prowess in recent weeks to believe they should fire at least a few goals past a struggling Valour side.

The visitors’ defensive woes can’t be overlooked. They rank as the worst away team in the CPL by a wide margin since they’ve taken just one point out of a possible 18, but the most concerning part is that they’ve conceded 18 goals in those six contests. Seeing as they’ve allowed at least three goals in their last four away outings, it won’t be shocking if the upcoming clash ends up being another high-scoring affair.
