York United FC vs Forge FC Preview and Team News
York United FC Team News
York United have been one of the CPL’s best-performing teams recently, going unbeaten for almost two months. Their last defeat in the league dates back to June 12th against Atletico Ottawa, when they lost 1-2 despite Julian Altobelli opening the scoring in the fifth minute. The Nine Stripes showed they learned their lesson with a 0-0 draw against Ottawa last week.
Forge and Ottawa remain the only clubs York haven’t been able to get past, as they’ve defeated Pacific, Valour, Vancouver, and Cavalry. In early July, the Toronto-based side bowed down to Ottawa yet another time in a tense 3-4 match in the Canadian Championship. York conceded twice in the last ten minutes – a sign that the defeat was more about mentality than tactics.
Mauro Eustáquio’s men currently sit third in the CPL, occupying the final playoff spot.
York United FC Predicted lineup vs Forge FC (3-4-2-1): Urtiaga; León, Sturing, Singh; Botello, Kibato, Adekugbe, Ferrari; Ferrín, Reid; Altobelli.
Forge FC Team News
Forge couldn’t have asked for more: they find themselves once again in the leading spot of the CPL, holding a one-point advantage over Atletico Ottawa. They remain the only undefeated team in this CPL season, with 10 victories and seven draws.
The Hammers’ last defeat in the league, a 1-2 loss to Cavalry, came all the way back in late November. The club are currently on a three-match winning streak, capped off by a dramatic 5-0 victory over Valour. Ottawa remain the only side to truly challenge them this season, grabbing a 1-1 draw in mid-July thanks to a stoppage-time equalizer. It’s rather concerning to see Forge dominating yet another CPL season.
Forge FC lineup vs York United FC (4-3-3): Koleilat; Jevremović, Jonsson, Nimick, Rama; Bekker, Babouli, Borges; Ampomah, Wright, Choiniere.

York United FC vs Forge FC Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Forge FC to win
- Odds: +123 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: York United FC 0-2 Forge FC
This matchup is a prime opportunity for Forge to widen their lead against one of their direct competitors, which could be challenging after their recent 5-0 thrashing. Thanks to their undefeated streak in the CPL, they come in as clear favourites, powered further by an in-form Ampomah providing an explosive threat on the wing.
While York may be in good form themselves, they often struggle to rise to the occasion when it matters the most. With the last meeting between these two ending in a 2-2 draw, they might need a miracle to replicate it this time around.
York United FC vs Forge FC Betting Tip
- Pick: York United not to score
- Odds: +235 (Tonybet)
York United have shown they can be a high-scoring team against lower-ranked opposition, but their lack of technical sophistication has regularly held them back against the likes of Forge and Ottawa. Another recurring issue has been their poor composure after conceding first, as seen in their 1-4 defeat against Ottawa in the Championship.
The Hammers, on the other hand, have forged one of the best squads in the league, which by itself is likely to suffice for a victory.
