Ukraine produced another superb display yesterday, and even though it took them a while to get going, they eventually swept aside Armenia 3-0. That overhauled the two-goal deficit we gave them via the Asian Handicap. We'll look to wrap up the week on a high with a winner from the Canadian Premier League.

The game we're focusing on brings together two of the best sides in the division. Leaders Pacific have won five of their ten games so far, and have only lost twice. Their opponents Forge have won three of their last five league matches, and in their Hamilton home they have suffered just two defeats in their last nine in the top flight.

I fancy goals here. Forge have scored eight goals across their last two league games, and stretching back into last season they have found the net in 15 of their last 20 CPL outings. Pacific have scored at least once in 24 of their last 30 in the league, and in 21 of those 30, both teams have found the net.

We can use the Sportsbook's Bet Builder to back Over 2.5 Goals and Both Teams To Score at 1.8810/11. That bet has paid out in four of their last five regular season league meetings.
