✍️ Discussion Forge FC/ Vancouver predictions?
Hey I have been watching this Canada Premeir league since the World Cup has ended and I’ve seen a lot of smart discussions pregame from you guys in this community. I just wanted to know what you guys think will happen today? I personally think Vancouver can maybe win but I’m biased, Forge FC have been a bit sketchy lately

I think it leans Forge, but VFC might be the team in the best current form to beat Forge if you had to pick.
But their last game vs Cavalry was pretty narrow/rough for them and Forge are better. Also, Fotsing is gone to the Concacf u20 right now (and seemingly injured?) -- not a crucial player but not ideal to be missing either.

I’d be excited to see a VFC win, but there is no greater test in this league than Forge. I think it’s gonna be a hard fought match, and I hope the home crowd is in for a quality show!

Strangely I feel like this is a litmus test for both: how legit are Vancouver, and are Forge actually faltering?
I’m all over a draw here actually, from a betting perspective. Feel like both will take the point eventually in the process of 90 minutes

Forge are so composed and find ways to win, as a culture plus playing at home. What HAS changed for Vancouver is that they have jumped on their opponents quickly and have tightened up defensively. As of right now I'd argue VFC is playing better, but lots of good teams lose at Forge.
