Vancouver FC vs Forge FC Preview and Team News
Vancouver FC Team News
Vancouver took part in what could be considered the match of the season against Cavalry at ATCO Field. In the nine-goal thriller (5-4), the Eagles almost got away with a draw thanks to Emrick Fotsing’s strike in injury time. However, Daan Klomp sealed the victory in the 97th minute, leaving the visitors with a painful defeat.
Following the loss, Martin Nash’s men sit at the bottom of the table with 11 points. Recently, they’ve shown improvement in offence, scoring 11 goals over their previous four games.
Ahead of the clash, Vancouver have no major injury concerns. We expect the same lineup to feature against Forge.
Vancouver FC predicted lineup vs Forge FC (4-2-3-1): Irving; Gee, O’Connor, Campagna, Dada-Luke; Fry, Norman; Bah, Mezquida, Campbell; Mbongue.
Forge FC Team News
The visitors extended their unbeaten run to 23 matches across all competitions with a 2-0 home win over Atletico Ottawa. Kyle Bekker opened the score in the 24th minute, while Brian Wright added the second goal. The hosts avoided a late scare when Ballou Tabla missed a penalty in the 79th minute.
Forge sit in first place with 43 points from 19 games. They’ve been in phenomenal form since April, and their recent results only prove their dominance.
Nana Ampomah was left out of the squad against Atletico Ottawa and remains questionable. Maxime Filion is also doubtful for the upcoming encounter.
Forge FC predicted lineup vs Vancouver FC (4-2-3-1): Koleilat; Rama, Nimick, Achinioti-Jonsson, Jevremovic; Hojabrpour, Bekker; Massunda, Borges, Babouli; Wright.

- Pick: Forge to Win
- Odds: -130 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Vancouver FC 1-2 Forge FC
Matchups between the last- and first-placed teams could be tricky. However, the situation is different this time, as Vancouver have massive problems in defence while Forge are playing at the top of their game.
If we look at their head-to-head record, the Hammers are currently on a four-match winning run against VFC. The difference in forms is obvious, and the visitors are considered favourites.
We expect Forge to be motivated to extend their streak and produce another convincing performance. Vancouver are struggling and likely lack the resources to take even a point.
Vancouver FC vs Forge FC Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: -145 (Tonybet)
The hosts might experience frailties at the back, but they are still capable of scoring against anyone. Nicolas Mezquida, who leads the club with four goals, remains their main attacking threat.
Five of their last six head-to-head meetings have seen goals at both ends. Vancouver have failed to keep a clean sheet in six straight games, while Forge have conceded in each of the last four away fixtures.
The Eagles will certainly try to upset their opposition and get on the scoresheet. With virtually no chance of reaching the playoff zone, they can play without pressure.
