Forge FC vs Atlético Ottawa Preview and Team News
Forge FC Team News
Forge won’t have much rest for this match since they played in midweek in the Canadian Championship semifinals. They escaped with a 2-2 home draw against the Whitecaps, so they remain alive for the return leg of the tie on September 16. That draw extended their undefeated streak across all competitions to 21 games (W13, D9).
The Hammers haven’t lost a single fixture since falling to Monterrey by a 5-0 aggregate score in the CONCACAF Champions League back in February.

Their dominance at the domestic level has been reflected on both ends of the pitch, as they boast the best defence and the second-best attack in the CPL while sitting at the top of the standings.
That supremacy, combined with the fact that they’re playing at home, should enhance their status as odds-on favourites. If Forge are looking to secure another win, they’ll likely have to rely on the scoring prowess of Brian Wright. With seven goals, he’s the team’s top offensive weapon.
Forge FC predicted lineup vs Atlético Ottawa (4-3-3): Koleilat; Rama, Nimick, Achinioti-Jonsson, Jevremovic; Borges, Jensen, Hojabrpour; Amponah, Fillon, Choiniere.
Atlético Ottawa Team News
Atlético Ottawa have also enjoyed a solid start to the campaign and sit in the thick of the title race – just one point behind league leaders Forge.
However, they’ll be looking for a bounce-back performance after being massively outplayed in their 3-1 loss to Vancouver last time out. That showing wasn’t a fair reflection of what Ottleti have produced over the course of the season.
The defeat to Vancouver snapped a seven-game unbeaten run on the road and a four-match winning streak for Ottawa. Despite that setback, they’ve proven to be able to compete on enemy territory.

One thing that has been consistent in their recent away fixtures has been the entertaining factor, as three of their last four encounters on the road have ended with over 2.5 total goals and both teams on the scoresheet.
Given that this is a battle between the two top clubs in the 2025 CPL campaign, one might expect a tight clash. However, both sides are just too good on offence to ignore their firepower. Thus, an open game with lots of chances and goals looks more likely.
Atlético Ottawa predicted lineup vs Forge FC (3-4-2-1): Ingham; Cloutier, Abatneh, Kozlovskiy; Antinoro, Aparicio, Castro, Coulanges; Rodríguez, Tabla; Selter.

Forge FC vs Atlético Ottawa Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Forge FC to win
- Odds: +124 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Forge FC 2-1 Atlético Ottawa
It’s quite hard to predict what might unfold in this contest. After all, Forge and Ottawa have been the two best teams in the 2025 CPL all season long, so their fans should be in for an epic matchup.
Still, the Hammers might hold the edge thanks to home advantage – a factor that could prove decisive when it comes to securing all three points.
The hosts will likely rely on their attacking prowess to secure a positive result. They might not have another choice since they’ve conceded goals in three of their previous five home games.
Meanwhile, Ottawa showed a few cracks on defence when they allowed three goals against Vancouver last time out. If similar defensive lapses occur again, they could tip the balance in Forge’s favour in what should be a tight contest.
Forge FC vs Atlético Ottawa Betting Tip
- Pick: Over 2.5 total goals and both teams scoring
- Odds: +116 (Tonybet)
Each of Forge’s last four competitive matches has produced over 2.5 total goals, with three of those also seeing both sides score, so the potential is certainly there. Additionally, four of their most recent five home fixtures have also hit that mark, while Atlético Ottawa have seen this occur in their previous two. Thus, a goal-filled encounter featuring contributions from both teams feels highly likely.
