Valour FC vs Vancouver FC Preview and Team News

Valour FC Team News

A big contest is expected when Valour FC take on Vancouver FC in the Canadian Premier League on Wednesday. Playing at home, Valour have an added advantage that they will be keen on pressing as much as possible, but for that to happen flawlessly, their defenders need to be sharp and on top of their game. The home team come into this game on the back of a drab and goalless draw against Pacific FC.

Valour are renowned for keeping possession of the ball even when put under pressure as they play with a 4-2-3-1 formation; this is a tactic that can come good for them against Vancouver since the latter like to press high at all times.

The season has not gone as planned for Valour so far, but they will feel confident owing to the fact that they do not have any significant absentees in this game owing to injuries. Currently, Valour are ranked last in the league table, and if things do not improve significantly, one can expect them to remain there all season. 

Even though they like to keep possession even when put under pressure, Valour are known for their frequent error-making in the final third when in front of goal. This is something that their coach, Phillip Dos Santos, will be keen on improving.

Valour FC predicted lineup vs Vancouver FC (4-2-3-1): Himaras; Antonoglou, Facchineri, Romeo, Fernandez; Figueiredo, Ohin; Ressurreicao, Venancio, Twardek; Layne.

​Vancouver FC Team News

Vancouver are only slightly better ranked than Valour in the Canadian Premier League; they are just one spot off the bottom, which is occupied by their hosts. Nonetheless, Vancouver, who like to exploit wide spaces and invert their attackers to create more areas of offence, may have to press higher than they usually do. 

Still, one of the biggest ways in which Vancouver can overcome Valour’s challenges towards them is by maintaining a tight defensive line in which at least two players fall back into position when the others lose the ball.

Vancouver usually play in a 4-3-1-2 formation. However, Vancouver have not been at their best of late in attack, and have scored just 4 goals in their last 5 matches. Nicolás Mezquida has the most shots on target per match for Vancouver (0.9) and has scored 2 goals so far. 

One area in which Vancouver can improve immensely is in their defence – they have not kept a clean sheet in their last ten outings. One advantage, however, is that they do not have any injuries in this game, just like their opponents, Valour. 

Vancouver FC predicted lineup vs Valour FC (4-3-1-2): Irving; Bah, Enyou, Campagna, Dada-Luke; Fry, Norman Jr, Fotsing; Batista; Pathe, Diaz.

Valour FC vs Vancouver FC Prediction

• Pick: Vancouver FC to win
• Odds: +152 (20Bet)
• Score prediction: Valour FC 1-2 Vancouver FC

There has been only one match recorded between the two teams in the past, which Vancouver won comfortably in May earlier this year with a 3-1 scoreline. The same may happen this time around, regarding the result, but the number of goals scored may be less due to the indifferent form shown by Vancouver’s defenders lately. 

Both teams have performed poorly this season, with Vancouver doing only slightly better than Valour. This difference may be exacerbated slightly in this game, with the visiting side’s attackers choosing to wreak havoc on the home team’s defenders. We expect Vancouver to win, especially as Valour have lost three out of their last five matches.

Valour FC vs Vancouver FC Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Both teams to score
• Odds: -159 (20Bet)

We expect both teams to get onto the scoresheet in this game, just as happened when they met for the first time a few weeks ago. For Valour, the biggest challenge has been maintaining their shape and hold on the ball when they have entered the final third. However, they have seen BTTS in three out of their last five outings.

For Vancouver, perhaps the most important reason why they have not done well in their last five matches (only one win) is how mediocre their midfielders have been in creating transitions from defence to attack. 

If Vancouver fail to prevent counter-attacks from taking place in this game, they will fall behind, just like they did against Atletico Ottawa, York United, and HFX Wanderers. Valour, who have scored six goals in their last five matches, have also seen BTTS in three of those matches. Kris Twardek has created the most number of big chances for Valour FC, and will have to be kept on close watch here.
