Forge chase title glory as Wanderers face managerless test
League leaders Forge FC look to tighten their grip on the title race against a Halifax Wanderers side fighting to protect their continental qualification spot.
Forge FC arrive at the Wanderers Grounds in formidable form, sitting top of the table with 34 points and carrying a six-game winning streak. Bobby Smyrniotis’s side have been relentless on the road recently, securing back-to-back 3-1 and 2-1 victories away from home. With only one match remaining after this fixture, Forge are in full control of the title race and looking to maintain momentum ahead of their upcoming Canadian Championship clash.
HFX Wanderers FC sit 5th on 16 points, currently holding a continental qualification place. However, they must navigate this high-stakes fixture without head coach Vanni Sartini, who is suspended from the touchline following a red card in their last match. That game saw the Wanderers surrender a 2-0 half-time lead against Supra du Québec, conceding a 12-minute hat-trick to lose 3-2 at home.
