Pacific FC vs Valour FC. Shape of the Teams

Pacific is gearing up to clash with Valour in the second round of the Canadian Premier League. We have already seen some interesting matches in the previous fixture that marked the kickoff of the country’s top-tier competition.

Pacific clinched a narrow 1-0 victory against HFX Wanderers thanks to a penalty from Ayman Sellouf. The Dutch winger emerged as the standout performer with the highest rating on the pitch and was the key playmaker in the victory. However, the Wanderers created a lot of chances and came close to levelling the score.

On the other hand, Valour suffered a crushing 4-1 defeat at the hands of Vancouver. Although Jordi Swibel initially put the visitors ahead, it was not enough for success. To make things worse for Valour, Jordan Faria was sent off with a red card in the 56th minute. Overall, they produced a lacklustre performance and were eventually beaten without much of a fight.

Pacific has a major advantage over Valour in their head-to-head record. In the 19 times they have met, they have won 14 times, drawn three times, and only lost twice.

The upcoming encounter promises to be exciting, and the hosts’ home advantage will certainly give them an edge over the opponents.

Pacific FC vs Valour FC Prediction, Odds

• Pick:  Pacific FC to Win
• Odds: -132  (Tonybet)

The head-to-head statistics between Pacific FC and Valour speak for themselves. Pacific FC have a superior advantage over their opponents, and I think they can grab their second win of the season against Valour.

Pacific’s style of play seems tailor-made to exploit teams like Valour. They know how to press opponents and dominate the midfield. Moreover, their attackers are in great form.

Valour, on the other hand, suffered a major blow against Vancouver. Even accounting for being down to 10 men, it was obvious that there was a major difference in class, leaving them unable to turn the game around.  

I expect an encouraging performance from Pacific in this match. They are the superior side with skilled players who are capable of making a difference. James Merriman’s side will focus on to attack from the first minute, and I believe they will clinch an important victory over Valour. 

Pacific FC vs Valour FC Betting Tip

• Pick:  Over 2.5 Goals
• Odds: +100  (Tonybet)

Looking at the statistics, it’s reasonable to expect a high-scoring affair in this match. Eight out of their last eleven encounters have ended with over 2.5 goals scored, with some matches even reaching the four or five-goal mark.

While the Canadian Premier League isn’t typically known for goal-heavy games, but I believe this game will be different. Although Valour suffered a devastating match against Vancouver, they are unlikely to fold easily. They will build their game on counterattacks and sting once in a while.

On the other hand, Pacific enjoys the home advantage at the Starlight Stadium, and the fans will expect only a positive result from them. Neither team is particularly stout defensively, which indicates a match with multiple goals. Opting for at least three goals in this game certainly seems like a solid bet, given the attacking tendencies and defensive frailties on both sides.
