Forge form and stats
Forge must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Premier League games here at Tim Hortons Field.
Forge's last game was hosting Valour (placed 3rd) and winning 3-2. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Smyrniotis when Poku scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 65th minute.
A 1-1 scoreline against Atletico Ottawa (after extra-time, 3-2 on penalties) before that one, played at their own home stadium in the Championship.
Forge have conceded 5 from these games.
Vancouver FC form and stats
Things could have gone better for Vancouver FC in their Premier League away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
The manager Ghotbi was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue. Vancouver FC suffered a 0-5 loss to Atletico Ottawa (placed 4th). That defeat was their first after three consecutive league matches winning points. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Atletico Ottawa was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Cavalry.As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Vancouver FC has managed {3 goals} and let in 3 from 3 matches.
