Match Analysis
Forge host Vancouver FC at Tim Hortons Field in Canadian Premier League (matchday 6). Kick-off is Saturday 6 July 2024 at 01:00 UK time.
Form Guide
Forge — last 10 games: 4W 2D 4L, averaging 1.40 points per game. Last five: W L D W L. Offensively they are averaging 1.60 goals per game, with 1.40 conceded. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).
At home, Forge have gone 6W 2D 2L in their last 10 home games (2.00 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.60 goals scored and 0.90 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Their home PPG of 2.00 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.40 — Forge are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.
Looking at their last 10 matches, Vancouver FC stand at 3W 3D 4L — 1.20 PPG. Last five: L D D L W. Their scoring rate of 1.00 per game is modest, conceding 1.80 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.
On the road, Vancouver FC have gone 4W 1D 5L in their last 10 away fixtures (1.30 PPG). Away from home they average 1.20 goals scored and 1.70 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.
There is minimal separation in the form figures — Forge at 1.40 PPG versus Vancouver FC's 1.20. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.
Both teams have scored in at least 70% of each side's games (from Forge's last 10 home games and Vancouver FC's last 10 away games). At that combined rate, BTTS Yes is as well-evidenced as it gets — the data strongly backs two-way scoring.
In-Play Profile
Forge in-play tendencies (last 40 games, 19 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 47% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; of the 10 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 30%; BTTS occurs in 68% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 58% of games (home games).
Vancouver FC in-play tendencies (last 40 games, 19 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 74% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 64% of the time; BTTS occurs in 58% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 63% of games (away games); they fail to score in 35% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Forge 50% versus Vancouver FC 58%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Forge 55% | Vancouver FC 62%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Forge 1.90 xG and Vancouver FC 1.19 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Forge attack 1.125 / defence 0.976 | Vancouver FC attack 1.076 / defence 1.153. League average goals — home 1.462 / away 1.137. Data: built from Forge's last 39 games and Vancouver FC's last 40.
Result probabilities: Forge 51% | Draw 28% | Vancouver FC 21%. Fair-value odds: Forge 1.95 | Draw 3.62 | Vancouver FC 4.71. Forge hold a narrow Poisson edge at 51% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 60% | BTTS Yes probability 62% | Total xG 3.09. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 60% — the 3.09 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% — both xG figures (1.90 / 1.19) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Forge at 51% — moderate model lean. With a 28% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Forge offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
The Poisson model projects 3.09 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 60% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Forge's last 10 home games and Vancouver FC's last 10 away games) averaging 2.7 goals per game.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 62% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Forge 70% (last 10 home games) | Vancouver FC 70% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Forge and Vancouver FC finished level at 3-3 at Tim Hortons Field, Regular Season - 6, in the Canadian Premier League. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Forge 1.90 xG and Vancouver FC 1.19 xG, a combined 3.09. The scoreboard read 3-3 for 6 actual goals. Forge beat their projection by 1.1 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Vancouver FC outscored their 1.19 projection by 1.8. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Forge attack 1.12 / defence 0.98 against Vancouver FC attack 1.08 / defence 1.15, drawn from 39/40 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Forge 51% | Draw 28% | Vancouver FC 21%, with Forge to win its most likely call at 51%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 60%. The game delivered 6, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 84% and landed. Over 3.5 was 37% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 62% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 59% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Forge 55%, Vancouver FC 62%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 54%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Forge's trading profile (40 games, 19 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and conceded here.
Vancouver FC's trading profile (40 games, 19 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
On form, Forge arrived the stronger side — 1.60 PPG against 1.18. The form guide was only half-right: the stronger side did not lose, but could not convert the edge into a win. Forge (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.63 average — above their attacking norm and shipped 3 against a 1.16 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Vancouver FC (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 0.89 average — above their attacking norm and shipped 3 against a 1.68 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (miss). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
