Forge form and stats
Forge have collected 14 points from their Premier League home games so far after 3-5-2.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Forge, who played 3-3 against York9. That match was also played at this venue (Tim Hortons Field). As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? A painful moment in the game against York9 was the missed penalty kick from Campbell in the 76th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.
