Atlético Ottawa vs HFX Wanderers FC Preview and Team News

Atlético Ottawa Team News

Atlético Ottawa’s unbeaten streak now stretches to eight matches, after Diego Mejía’s side snatched a late draw against Forge at home. The hosts had been trailing since the ninth minute, but a 93rd-minute penalty kick from Ballou Tabla salvaged a point for Ottawa.

They’re currently leading the Canadian Premier League with 29 points, only one point ahead of second-placed Forge. In their last game, they produced 23 shots with 2.19 xG and didn’t deserve to suffer a defeat.

The trio of Rodriguez, Tabla, and Salter is expected to spearhead the front line against HFX Wanderers. As for injuries and suspensions, there are no major worries for the club. 

Atlético Ottawa predicted lineup vs HFX Wanderers FC (3-4-2-1): Ingham; Cloutier, Walker, Kozlovskiy; Aninoro, Aparicio, Castro, Santos; Rodriguez, Tabla; Salter.

HFX Wanderers FC Team News

Third-placed HFX Wanderers were involved in one of the best matches of the Canadian Premier League on July 12. Playing against Pacific, they were beaten 3-2 in a closely contested game, where Yann Regis Toualy’s hat-trick neutralized goals from Tiago Coimbra and Yohan Bai.

Despite the loss, the Wanderers are in a good position to compete for higher places. The gap with leaders Atlético Ottawa is only five points, and they’ll try to reduce it in what promises to be a pivotal clash.

Coimbra has now scored in two consecutive appearances and will also pose a threat to the opposition defenders on Friday. The visitors are expected to field a full-strength lineup.

HFX Wanderers FC predicted lineup vs Atlético Ottawa (4-4-2): Yesli; Timoteo, Sow, Meilleur-Gigeuere, Pearlman; Rea, Johnston, Callegari, Bai; Coimbra, Biello.

Atlético Ottawa vs HFX Wanderers FC Prediction, Odds

Atlético Ottawa barely survived a scare against Forge, but they were much better than their opponents, especially in the second half. Now they’re heading into another match at home as slight favourites.

HFX Wanderers slipped in their previous encounter, and the lack of attention has been a problem for Patrice Gheisar’s men. This could prove costly, as Ottawa know how to exploit defensive weaknesses with their relentless pressing.

We expect a physical game, with the hosts holding the initiative and controlling possession to secure a victory over their opponents in the end. 

Atlético Ottawa vs HFX Wanderers FC Betting Tip

Atlético lead the league with 31 goals, though they’ve also conceded in each of their previous two outings. HFX Wanderers, on the other hand, have only scored 20 times this season, but they rarely leave a pitch without a goal. 

Their head-to-head history also promises a high-scoring affair. To illustrate, out of the last seven games played between the teams, six ended with goals on both ends

We’re also set for a fascinating individual duel between Samuel Salter and Tiago Coimbra, as they’ve been in great form lately. HFX Wanderers are unlikely to sit passively defending themselves and should score at least once.
