Forge FC vs York United Team News
Forge FC Team News
Forge FC are on course to keep their title as Canadian champions, but to do so, they can’t afford to lose against York. The Hammers have disappointed in recent weeks, with three of their last five matches ending in a draw.
The club are at the top of the table with 55 points, but lead just by two points over Atlético Ottawa.
The Hammers have only lost twice in the Canadian Premier League, with both defeats dating back to early autumn: a 1-4 loss to Cavalry FC, followed by a 1-2 defeat to Valour two weeks later. Over the last four weeks, they’ve beaten Pacific 4-0 and drawn three other games.
One of the reasons has been their defence: Forge have conceded in all three draws, which explains why the team have dropped so many points recently. In the 1-1 draw with Cavalry, they were saved by a converted penalty in the first half.
Forge FC predicted lineup vs York United (3-4-3): Koleilat; Jevremović, Nimick, Rama; Bekker, Jonsson, Hojabrpour, Borges; Massunda, Wright, Choiniere.
York United Team News
While Forge have already secured their place in the playoff phase, York United’s situation is more delicate. The team currently sit fifth in the CPL with 38 points. They’re only one point behind HFX Wanderers and three behind Cavalry. This is important since this is the last match, and a victory could allow them to fly over the preliminary round if they overtake Cavalry.
However, a win seems unlikely for York, who have often struggled on the road. They often rely on their firepower up front to decide games, but their performance without home support has been inconsistent. Their defence has had a hard time throughout their campaign: the Nine Stripes have only kept one clean sheet in their last eight outings.
York drew with the Wanderers, followed by another draw with Pacific. Yet, at home, they defeated Pacific 5-1, Cavalry 3-1, and Valour 1-0. With only one victory in their last five, this is their last opportunity to gain some momentum.
York United predicted lineup vs Forge FC (4-2-3-1): Urtiaga; Botello, Singh, Adekugbe, Ferrari; López, Kibato; Jimoh, Reid, Ferrin; Altobelli.

Forge have dominated the Canadian Premier League since the competition’s inception, but this season may end on a different note. The team need a victory to secure the first spot, though they’ll qualify for the playoffs regardless of the result.
Forge’s experience and home advantage are likely to tilt the scales in their favour, especially as the Nine Stripes usually struggle to perform on the road. Yet both sides are expected to score, given York’s attacking approach.
Forge FC vs York United Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -134 (Tonybet)
Julian Altobelli, currently the fourth most prolific goalscorer in the CPL with ten goals and four assists, has been one of the revelations of the season. At the young age of 22, he’s become York United’s key player at the top of their attacking pyramid.
He’s also demonstrated strong mental resilience to impact the game when most needed, providing an assist in the 1-1 draw with HFX Wanderers, as well as scoring the winner against Valour.
