Forge FC vs Vancouver FC. Shape of the Teams
Forge will host Vancouver on May 18 at Tim Hortons Field. Forge have been in perfect form recently. They have not lost a single match so far, winning three and drawing one against Pacific in the last round. They were evenly matched throughout the game but failed to capitalize on their advantage.
Vancouver started the season strongly with two wins against HFX Wanderers and Valour, but they are now on a three-game winless streak. This run has left them in fourth place with seven points and eight conceded goals.

Under Bobby Smyrniotis, Forge regularly deliver perfect defensive and offensive performances. Tristan Borges and Beni Badibanga are prominent in the attack, while Garven-Michee Metusala and Alexander Achinioti-Jonsson are stalwarts in the back.
Vancouver need to bounce back as soon as possible. In the past rounds, they lacked creativity and have been defensively fragile. Even against Atlético Ottawa, they failed to secure a victory.

Forge FC vs Vancouver FC Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Forge to Win
- Odds: -164 (Tonybet)
I think that Forge are currently the superior side. They have a balanced squad that knows how to defend and press their opponents in the midfield. Moreover, their forwards and wingers perfectly cooperate with each other.
Added to that, in their four head-to-head meetings, Forge have won twice, drawn once, and lost once. This track record leads me to believe that they will be able to clinch a triumph in this game.
On the other hand, Vancouver are in a really awkward shape. They have already lost three matches in the previous four games and, to put it plainly, demonstrate inferior soccer. They will find it tough to deter Forge’s ongoing attacks, who will be motivated to score goals from the first minute.
Forge FC vs Vancouver FC Betting Tip
- Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: -118 (Tonybet)
While I anticipate the match to be mostly one-sided, I don’t rule out the possibility of a goal-fest. Vancouver have conceded in four matches in a row and struggles to keep a clean sheet. However, Alejandro Diaz, Vancouver’s top goalscorer with two goals, will definitely pose a threat to Forge.
The hosts are doing well and manage to score in almost every match. It is hard to imagine Forge not netting at least two goals in this encounter. They have no injury concerns, and all key players will be available.
Vancouver will need to stay vigilant in defence and build their flow on counterattacks, which might be their only chance to hit the net. It’s worth noting that the previous game between these two ended with a total of over 2.5 – with Forge winning 3-0.
