Atlético Ottawa vs Pacific FC — Tale of the Tape
- Position: 3 vs 8
- Points: 18 vs 3
- Goals For: 19 vs 13

- Clean Sheets: Atlético Ottawa 2, Pacific FC 0 (season statistics)
Across 13 matches, Atlético Ottawa have been a high-variance side: 19 goals scored and 23 conceded point to open, attacking games. Their goal difference of -4 reflects some heavy defeats, but five wins and only three draws show they generally play to win rather than settle. Sitting third, they are in a strong position to push for the playoffs, especially with a solid home record of 3 wins, 2 draws and just 1 loss at TD Place Stadium (10 scored, 9 conceded).
Pacific FC’s numbers are far more alarming. Bottom of the table with 3 points, they have drawn three and lost nine of their 12 matches. They are yet to keep a clean sheet and concede 2.3 goals per game on average, with 27 goals against overall. Away from home they have 2 draws and 3 losses (6 scored, 13 conceded), so while they can find the net, their defensive structure has been too porous to sustain results. On paper, Ottawa hold clear advantages in both league position and underlying metrics.
Atlético Ottawa vs Pacific FC Key Matchups
B. Tabla vs A. Díaz
Atlético Ottawa’s standout attacking threat is B. Tabla. The 26-year-old attacker has 3 goals and 1 assist in 13 appearances, all starts, with a strong rating of 7.25. He has taken 8 shots (5 on target), created 5 key passes from 140 total passes at 85% accuracy, and completed 5 of 14 dribbles. He also draws plenty of fouls (13), underlining his influence in the final third and his ability to destabilise defences.
For Pacific, A. Díaz is the key forward. In 12 appearances (11 starts) he has also scored 3 goals and provided 1 assist, with a solid 7.0 rating. He has 9 shots (4 on target), 2 key passes from 123 passes at 81% accuracy, and a decent dribble success rate (3 of 4). While both players have identical goal and assist tallies, Tabla’s higher creative output and dribbling volume suggest Ottawa may have the more multifaceted attacking weapon, especially against a defence conceding heavily.
M. Aparicio vs D. Konincks
In midfield, Ottawa’s M. Aparicio is a pivotal two-way presence. Across 13 starts and 509 minutes, he has 1 assist, 323 passes at 84% accuracy, and 5 key passes. Defensively he contributes 8 tackles, 2 blocks and 10 interceptions, while also engaging in 53 duels, winning 24. His 4 yellow cards underline his combative edge, but also hint at disciplinary risk.
For Pacific, defender D. Konincks has been a bright spot in a difficult season. In 12 full starts (540 minutes) he has 1 goal and 1 assist, 377 passes at an impressive 89% accuracy, and 1 key pass. Defensively he has 6 tackles, 3 blocks and 11 interceptions, and wins a high share of duels (31 of 47). His ability to build from the back and read the game will be crucial in trying to contain Aparicio’s influence between the lines and in transition.

Atlético Ottawa vs Pacific FC Prediction
Stats suggest Atlético Ottawa should control large spells of this match, especially at TD Place. Their recent form in the league table (5 wins from 13 and a mid-table position) contrasts sharply with Pacific’s winless run and leaky defence. Ottawa’s season statistics show they score 1.5 goals per match and concede 1.8, while Pacific concede more than two per game and have yet to record a clean sheet.
The prediction metrics lean strongly towards the hosts avoiding defeat: there is a 45% chance of an Atlético Ottawa win, 45% for a draw, and only 10% for a Pacific FC victory. Combined with Ottawa’s strong head-to-head record in recent seasons and Pacific’s poor away defensive numbers, this points towards a home win or, at worst, a share of the points for the hosts in a game that should feature at least a couple of goals.
Predicted Score: Atlético Ottawa 2-1 Pacific FC
Atlético Ottawa Recent Form
Atlético Ottawa’s recent form in the standings is mixed but competitive. Their last five league results are represented by a sequence of wins, draws and losses that keeps them in 3rd place. Overall in 2026 they have 5 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats from 13 matches, with 19 goals scored and 23 conceded. At home they have been relatively reliable, winning 3, drawing 2 and losing just once in 6 outings, scoring 10 and conceding 9.
Pacific FC Recent Form
Pacific FC’s recent form has been poor. Their standings form string indicates a run dominated by defeats, with a few draws sprinkled in. Across 12 league matches they have yet to win, posting 3 draws and 9 losses, scoring 13 and conceding 27. Away from home they have 2 draws and 3 losses, with 6 goals scored and 13 conceded, underlining their struggles to close out games and keep opponents quiet.
Atlético Ottawa Possible Starting Lineup
GK: T. Crampton; Defenders: J. Dunn-Johnson, W. Timóteo, T. Walker; Midfielders: M. Aparicio, D. Aguilar, G. Antinoro, J. Castro; Forwards: B. Tabla, E. Myklebust, R. Ennin.
Atlético Ottawa have a deep squad with multiple options in defence and midfield. With formations such as 3-4-3 and 4-3-2-1 used frequently in 2026, they can flex between a back three and back four. Creative influence is likely to come from the likes of M. Aparicio and G. Antinoro in midfield, while B. Tabla spearheads the attack alongside more traditional forwards like E. Myklebust and R. Ennin. There are no confirmed absences listed, so the coach should have near full flexibility to tailor the shape to exploit Pacific’s defensive weaknesses.
Pacific FC Possible Starting Lineup
GK: E. Himaras; Defenders: K. Chung, D. Konincks, J. Belluz, C. Greco-Taylor; Midfielders: M. Baldisimo, T. Gomulka, A. Daniels; Forwards: M. Bustos, A. Díaz, J. Heard.
Pacific FC have consistently lined up in a 4-2-3-1 this season, and that shape is likely to continue. The back line is built around ball-playing defender D. Konincks, with full-backs such as K. Chung and C. Greco-Taylor providing width. In midfield, M. Baldisimo and T. Gomulka can offer balance, while the attacking band of three, including playmaker M. Bustos and winger J. Heard, supports focal striker A. Díaz. Despite the quality of individual pieces, the collective defensive organisation has been lacking, which they must address to contain Ottawa’s attack.

Betting Tips: Atlético Ottawa vs Pacific FC
Exactly 3 distinct betting angles stand out for this Canadian Premier League clash, based on form, head-to-head trends and season statistics.
- Result Tip: Atlético Ottawa Double Chance (Home or Draw). With a 45% probability assigned to an Ottawa win and another 45% to the draw, and Pacific given just a 10% chance, the hosts are heavily favoured to avoid defeat. Ottawa’s strong head-to-head record and Pacific’s winless league campaign reinforce this conservative but solid angle.
- Goals Tip: Over 1.5 Total Goals. Ottawa’s matches in 2026 average 3.3 goals per game (19 for, 23 against in 13), while Pacific’s average 3.4 (13 for, 27 against in 12). Both sides concede heavily, and recent meetings have seen scorelines like 2-2, 3-1 and 2-0. Backing at least two goals aligns with both teams’ defensive records and the attacking output of players like B. Tabla and A. Díaz.
- Value Tip: B. Tabla to Score or Assist. Tabla has 3 goals and 1 assist in 13 appearances, with 5 shots on target, 5 key passes and a high involvement in Ottawa’s attacking play. Against a Pacific defence conceding 2.3 goals per game and yet to keep a clean sheet, backing Tabla in a player-performance market (anytime goal or goal contribution) offers appealing upside.
