Cavalry FC vs HFX Wanderers FC Preview and Team News
Cavalry FC Team News
Cavalry may sit in third place in the CPL standings ahead of the weekend slate, but it’s safe to say they’re going through a rough patch, with three consecutive defeats in the league. The most recent one was a 1-0 road loss to Pacific, and perhaps the most worrying stat for the Cavs has been their failure to find the back of the net in two of those contests.
A return to their home ground might seem like the ideal scenario to turn things around. However, Cavalry have also lost their most recent home match 1-0 to York United, extending their winless streak at ATCO Field to three fixtures. That said, Tommy Wheeldon Jr.’s men are too good to continue struggling like this. Facing HFX Wanderers might help them, as they’ve won their last three home games against them.

There’s no news of fresh injury concerns for Cavalry ahead of this clash, though they’ll be missing one of their best players in Ali Musse. The right winger was sent off in the 1-0 loss to York. This means the scoring load will fall on the shoulders of Tobias Warschewski (five goals, four assists) and Sergio Camargo (five goals, three assists). If they can find their rhythm, the Calgary side might get back to winning ways.
Cavalry FC predicted lineup vs HFX Wanderers FC (4-2-3-1): Carducci; Aird, Montgomery, Laing, Field; Gutiérrez, Piepgrass; Ntignee, Camargo, Herdman; Warschewski.
HFX Wanderers FC Team News
Cavalry are trending in the wrong direction, as evidenced by their three losses in a row, but somehow, HFX Wanderers are in an even more complicated situation. Sitting in fifth place, Halifax have dropped each of their last four league outings and conceded at least two goals in each of them. That poor run has plummeted their record to W7, D3, L7 with an even goal differential.
To make things even more complicated, the Wanderers have also lost each of their last four away league matches, allowing 11 total goals in that stretch.

— Halifax Wanderers FC (@HFXWanderersFC) August 6, 2025
The visitors haven’t secured three points at home since May 17, when they beat Vancouver FC 2-0. The biggest issue for HFX has been their defence, as they’ve now gone five games without a clean sheet.
As bad as their defence has been of late, the Halifax side might have a shot at turning things around and pulling the upset if Tiago Coimbra finds his scoring boots again. Even though the 21-year-old forward has failed to score in three fixtures in a row, he’s still the team’s top scorer with seven goals to his name, including five in his last 10 league appearances.
HFX Wanderers FC predicted lineup vs Cavalry FC (4-2-3-1): Yesli; Pearlman, Meilleur-Gigeuere, Sow, Timoteo; Callegari, Rampersad; Bai, Telfer, Johnston; Coimbra.

Cavalry FC vs HFX Wanderers FC Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Cavalry to win
- Odds: +102 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Cavalry FC 2-1 HFX Wanderers FC
It’s clear that both teams have been struggling in recent weeks, but Cavalry should turn things around here. They have the edge of playing at home against a side that have been struggling massively on the road, coupled with the psychological advantage of being undefeated in their previous four head-to-head meetings.
As if that edge wasn’t significant enough, Cavalry also look due for a win based on their recent performances. They’ve posted an xG higher than their opponents in each of their previous three league defeats while also edging them in key stats such as possession and attempts on goal. Their play hasn’t resembled that of a team on a three-match losing streak, and that trend should stop here.
Cavalry FC vs HFX Wanderers FC Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score – yes
- Odds: -132 (Tonybet)
Cavalry should find a way to secure the victory in this contest, but it’s unlikely to be an easy win. The Cavs have been struggling on the defensive end in their previous three defeats, as they’ve conceded goals despite not facing heavy pressure. That could open the door for the Wanderers to, perhaps, find the back of the net at least once.
It’s also worth noting that both teams have frequently scored in their recent head-to-head meetings. The latest matchup has ended with a 1-1 draw, while three of the last four have seen both clubs score at least once.
