Forge FC vs HFX Wanderers FC Preview and Team News
Forge FC Team News
Forge’s 24-match unbeaten streak came to an end as they suffered a huge 4-1 defeat against Cavalry in the last round. The visitors looked completely disorganized, allowed too many mistakes in defence, and produced only 0.72 xG.
Despite the result, the Hammers remain top of the Canadian Premier League. With 46 points after 21 rounds, they’re the major candidates to finish first, holding a three-point advantage over second-placed Atletico Ottawa.
Ahead of the fixture, Maxime Filion is doubtful. The young Canadian wasn’t included in the roster for the last three games. Other than that, there are no worries in the hosts’ camp.
Forge FC predicted lineup vs HFX Wanderers FC (4-1-4-1): Koleilat; Jevremovic, Achinioti-Jonsson, Nimick, Rama; Hojabrpour; Choiniere, Bekker, Babouli, Ampomah; Wright.
HFX Wanderers FC Team News
HFX Wanderers followed up with another dominant victory in the last round. After beating Valour 4-1, they faced York United and defeated them 4-0, thanks to a brace from substitute Jason Bahamboula.
Following the win, HFX sit fourth in the standings on 32 points. They’ll be pushing to break into the top three, with Cavalry being the main obstacle standing in their way.
One of the club’s best players, Tiago Coimbra, limped off with an injury, and his participation in the upcoming fixture is questionable. However, Congolese winger Bahamboula filled in seamlessly, and we expect him to start.
HFX Wanderers FC predicted lineup vs Forge FC (3-4-3): Yesli; Alphonse, Meilleur-Giguere, Sow; Pearlman, Callegari, Johnston, Timoteo; Dias, Bahamboula, Rea.

Forge FC vs HFX Wanderers FC Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Forge to Win
- Odds: -167 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Forge FC 2-1 HFX Wanderers FC
After a devastating loss, Forge will look to bounce back in front of the home crowd. At Tim Hortons Field, they rarely lose — the last defeat there came against Monterrey on February 5.
As for their head-to-head record, the Hammers also hold a massive advantage. Out of 13 meetings between the sides, the Wanderers haven’t won a single one. Moreover, Forge have emerged victorious in the previous four
Although the visitors are in good form, we don’t expect Bobby Smyrniotis’ men to fall short twice in a row. They should come out on top this time.
Forge FC vs HFX Wanderers FC Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: -113 (Tonybet)
Forge should be motivated from the beginning. They’ll likely look to attack their opponents positionally and exploit space in midfield. The guests, on the other hand, will rely on counterattacks, waiting for the chances to appear.
Head-to-head history also points to goals. Their last three meetings have all seen both teams score. Additionally, the Wanderers have kept a clean sheet only once in their nine previous encounters.
Given Forge’s defensive frailties, which were clearly exposed in the loss to Cavalry, they may struggle to keep the Halifax outfit from finding the back of the net. At the same time, their opponents also lack reliability at the back. Thus, we can expect goals from both sides.
