Vancouver FC
On Saturday, July 6, Forge FC will face off against Vancouver FC in a match for the 13th round of the Canadian Premier League. Here’s a prediction and betting analysis prepared by the team at Dailysports.
Forge FC
The defending Canadian champions come into this match sitting in third place, with 17 points from 11 matches. Forge has secured 5 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses. They are just one point behind second place and have a game in hand. However, they are trailing the league leaders, Atlético Ottawa, by 8 points. The table is tight, with Cavalry, who are outside the playoff zone in sixth place, only three points behind Forge.
In their previous match, Forge played an incredible game against Atlético Ottawa, which ended in a 4-3 loss. They managed to equalize at 3-3 in the 88th minute, only to concede the decisive goal in the 90+3 minute. Before that, Forge won at home against Valour with a score of 2-1.
Vancouver FC
Vancouver FC is currently positioned just above Forge in second place. They are seven points behind the leaders. Despite their high placement, Vancouver hasn’t had an outstanding season, with a goal difference of -3 (16 goals scored and 19 conceded) in 12 matches. It’s surprising that the team is ranked so high with such statistics.
Vancouver started the season strong, but their recent performances have been less impressive. In the previous round, they broke a four-game winless streak by defeating Pacific FC 2-1.
