Atletico Ottawa vs Forge FC Preview and Team News
Atletico Ottawa Team News
Atletico Ottawa and Forge FC meet each other in the 14th round of the ongoing Canadian Premier League on Saturday. Ottawa, playing at home, will be under more pressure to do well, but their tactics of using short passes and lobbed balls in midfield have worked well so far.
Although Ottawa sometimes fall back when it comes to keeping possession of the ball, they maintain a structure and attack on the counter whenever the chance arises. Even in set-pieces, Ottawa have shown that they have the grit needed to overcome challenges and retain their composure.
The usage of short passes usually gives Ottawa accuracy while doing so, and this involves playing through the lines as well. In this game, Ottawa do not have any major absentees in their side owing to injuries.

Ottawa have now won four out of their last five matches, and this will give them a boost in morale ahead of this fixture. They are currently ranked right on top of the league table and will be keen on maintaining momentum to challenge for the title.
In their previous game, a 4-3 win over York United, Ottawa impressed with a 68% possession statistic while taking a total of 14 shots, out of which eight were on target. What was astonishing was the fact that Ottawa maintained a passing accuracy of 94% in this game, which is often unheard of in association football.
Atletico Ottawa predicted lineup vs Forge FC (3-4-2-1): Ingham; Walker, Abatneh, Cloutier; Santos, Castro, Aparicio, Antinoro; Tabla, Rodriguez; Salter.
Forge FC Team News
Forge, who are one of the best teams in this division alongside Ottawa, will be keen on picking up a positive result at the end of the evening. Playing away from home, however, will not be easy for Forge. Their defence is known to be good in zonal marking situations, and this usually allows them to mark the runs their opponents make.
In this game, Forge will have to be sharp enough to capitalise on cutting down the space that Ottawa’s wingers make down the flanks and not give them the time needed for executing crosses. Like their opponents, Forge do not have any serious injuries on their side.

Forge drew their previous game 2-2 against Montreal in the Canadian Championship. They have now been unbeaten in all of their last five outings, and seem well-placed in second place in the league table. However, they did not do very well against Montreal, keeping just 30% of the possession and being accurate in 71% of their passes.
If they are to uproot Ottawa from the top of the league table, Forge need to be more incisive in the final third. Their lack of decisiveness in attack or while creating big chances will end up causing more harm than good, as Ottawa are known for maintaining a high line that causes sides to commit mistakes far too often.
Forge FC predicted lineup vs Atletico Ottawa (4-1-4-1): Bontis; Rama, Nimick, Achinioti-Jönsson, Paton; Kane; Massunda, Jensen, Bekker, Choiniere; Wright.
Atletico Ottawa vs Forge FC Prediction
- Pick: Atletico Ottawa to win or draw
- Odds: -370 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Atletico Ottawa 1-1 Forge FC
Atletico Ottawa have a slight advantage over their opponents and we expect them to either win or draw. While playing in home conditions will give them the chance of overpowering their opponents, the tactical nous that they employ also come to their aid when needed.
Ottawa maintain a rather high line at the back, which, more often than not, forces their opponents into the offside trap.
Forge, on the other hand, will have to be careful of the runs they make in the final third in this game, and ensure that they play through the lines to confuse their opponents. Nonetheless, we believe that Ottawa will have an advantage.
Atletico Ottawa vs Forge FC Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -185 (20Bet)
Both these teams are very well-matched with each other, and also have a lot of attacking firepower in their ranks. This latter will help them try to breach each other’s defences in this game – we expect both teams to score. Ottawa have scored a whopping 12 goals in their last five matches.
Ottawa and Forge are two of the finest teams to play in the Canadian Premier League this season and have reached the top two berths of the standings by virtue of their attacking prowess. Salter will be the one to watch out for in the home team, whereas Wright will be the flag-bearer of the Forge attacking unit in this match.
