HFX Wanderers vs York United Preview and Team News

HFX Wanderers Team News

HFX Wanderers have been struggling in recent weeks and enter this fixture having lost three of their previous four matches (W1, L3), including a 3-1 defeat to Vancouver FC in their most recent one. 

However, the team have experienced a marked uptick in play at Wanderers Grounds, as they’re on a three-game winning streak in front of their fans while keeping back-to-back clean sheets in the last two.

As if that home momentum weren’t enough, they also know what it means to defeat York United at this venue, having recorded an easy 4-0 win on September 1. HFX might be struggling based on their recent results, but they’ve won more than half of their outings at home. 

Another contest in front of their fans could be just what the club need to continue their climb in the standings, while overtaking York in the process.

The Wanderers need all their top players available for this encounter if they’re to earn all three points. However, the availability of Tiago Coimbra is uncertain, as the 21-year-old striker has been on the bench for the last two games despite being the club’s primary scorer with 11 goals, the second-best mark in the CPL. 

The presence of Coimbra upfront and the stellar defensive play of late should be enough to lead the Wanderers to victory here.

HFX Wanderers predicted lineup vs York United (3-4-3): Yesli; Alphonse, Mellieur-Gigeuere, Mekideche; Pearlman, Callegari, Johnston, Telfer; Vitor Dias, Tiago Coimbra, Rea.

York United Team News

York United have been heavily criticized lately due to their inconsistency from game to game, as they’ve gone 10 straight league matches without repeating the same result (W4, D3, L3). However, the team snapped their brief two-match winless run with a 1-0 home victory over Valour this past weekend.

Unfortunately for their supporters, York have been unable to repeat the same level of cohesion and tactical prowess when playing on the road. 

They’ve lost their last two away fixtures in the CPL, including the aforementioned 4-0 defeat to HFX, and won just two of their last 10 across all competitions (W2, D3, L5). That’s not an ideal form to face opponents that have been red-hot at home.

If York United are to take anything away from this clash, they’ll have to rely on the play of their star forward, Julian Altobelli. The 22-year-old Canadian striker netted the team’s lone goal in their 1-0 win over Valour, and he’s up to 10 goals on the season. That tally snapped his scoring drought, and Altobelli’s blend of pace and strength could pose problems to the Wanderers’ defensive line.

York United predicted lineup vs HFX Wanderers (3-4-2-1): Urtiaga; Sturing, Adekugbe, Yeates; Ferrari, Kobato, López, Botello; Ferrin, Jimoh; Altobelli.

HFX Wanderers vs York United Main Match Info

HFX Wanderers vs York United Prediction, Odds

HFX have a clear psychological edge ahead of this matchup since they’ve won four of the previous five league meetings against York United while scoring at least two goals each time. 

These two sides met on September 1 earlier this year, and the Wanderers cruised to an easy 4-0 victory. Since they’ll be at home once again, it’s not surprising to see them as the odds-on favourites.

Their impressive play at Wanderers Grounds backs that up. HFX have won their last three outings in front of their fans, as well as their last three home fixtures against York United. 

That advantage in the head-to-head record should be on full display again here, especially considering that the visitors are on a four-game winless skid on the road (D2, L2). The hosts should come away with all three points rather easily.

HFX Wanderers vs York United Betting Tip

Three of their last four head-to-head meetings at this venue have ended with an exact score of 2-1 (two wins for HFX, one for York). While predicting the exact score is always a gamble, it’s plausible to imagine a scenario where both teams find the back of the net and there are at least three total goals.

That notion is strengthened by the fact that York have allowed six goals in their last two road games, whereas the Wanderers have gone nine straight matches scoring at least once at home (W6, D1, L2). With four of HFX’s last six home encounters ending with a winner and at least three goals, there’s enough evidence to support a high-scoring affair – especially given the Wanderers’ play upfront and York’s issues at the back.
