Atletico Ottawa vs York United Preview and Team News
Atletico Ottawa Team News
Atletico Ottawa and York United meet each other on Wednesday in the quarterfinal of the Canadian Championship. While both sides have earned the right to be at this stage of the tournament, one of them will have to go home afterwards.
Having beaten Scrosoppi 2-0 on their way to this match, Ottawa are now confident about their chances of pocketing a win against York as well. Their recent form also suggests that the squad will have it easy, given that they have been unbeaten in four of their last five games.

They’re currently sitting at the top of the Canadian Premier League table, which should give them a massive morale boost heading into this encounter. The hosts prefer an expansive brand of all-attack football that focuses on exploiting the wings and creating chances through short passes. There aren’t many injuries in the team.
The home side are also keen on using inverted wingers and forcing them upfield to bolster their offense. This strategy works wonders, especially with forward Salter moving ahead and drawing a defender or two to provide layoffs to other attackers.

York United Team News
York United, who beat FC Laval 5-0 to book their berth in the quarterfinals, are coming into this clash as clear underdogs. Sitting fifth in the CPL, they don’t boast as much quality in their ranks as Ottawa do. But, like their opponents, the squad have no major injury concerns ahead of this match.
The team’s lack of big names might make them look second-best on paper. However, they tend to press high whenever they lose the ball, which gives them an advantage when it comes to evaluating the work rate of their players.

Their recent form leaves much to be desired, with three losses, six goals conceded, and just as many scored in their last five fixtures. In the upcoming meeting, they’ll have to find ways to counter the hosts’ aggressive approach on the ball.
As an option, the guests can focus on man-marking inside their own area to prevent their opponents from playing too many long balls. This will also allow them to dictate the rhythm of the game and avoid getting overwhelmed by Ottawa’s all-out attack strategy.

Atletico Ottawa vs York United Prediction
- Pick: Atletico Ottawa to win
- Score prediction: Atletico Ottawa vs York United
The hosts are heavily favored to win this game, and we expect them to come out on top with relative ease. When these teams last met in April earlier this year in the CPL, Ottawa beat their opponents 3-2.
Fueled by momentum, the home team are expected to overwhelm York’s usually sedate defensive tactics with numbers inside the box.
If Atletico’s defenders and goalkeeper resort to sending long balls into the attacking third, the visitors will find it very hard to defend against them. This makes us feel that the hosting squad have a clear edge, both in form and tactics.
Atletico Ottawa vs York United Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 2 goals
We expect to see a total of over two goals, most of them coming from Ottawa. Their unique three-man backline allows their wingbacks to push high when they have the ball and drop back quickly to defend when they lose it.
This tactical flexibility enables the team to switch seamlessly between a three-man defense when in possession and a five-man formation when out of it.
The front three, which sometimes transform into a two-man attacking midfield of Tabla and Rodriguez, with Salter leading the line, is a force to be reckoned with. Thus, we fear that the guests won’t be able to keep up with the attacks coming their way.
Atletico’s xG in the CPL stands at 1.69, which is also a good indicator of how things may turn out in this match. York’s, on the other hand, is 1.34.
