CPL Editorial's Armen Bedakian breaks down the picks for Centre Circle's CPL Fantasy predictor ahead of Pacific FC vs. HFX Wanderers FC (Westhills Stadium, Sunday, April 28 at 4:00 p.m. PT/7:00 p.m. ET). Q1: In what minute will the first goal be scored? - 0’-25’ - 26’-45’ - 45-75’ - 76’-90’ Armen: There's a lot of firepower on offer between these two teams, so for my money, I'd say an early goal isn't unrealistic. Q2: Which club will receive the first yellow card? - Pacific FC - HFX Wanderers FC - Neither Armen: The visiting Wanderers will have travelled quite a distance for this match, so maybe a tackle or two goes wayside? Q3: How will the first goal be scored? - Right Foot - Left Foot - Header - None Armen: You've got to think the towering head of Marcus Haber will be in play at some point during the 90 minutes. Q4: Which club will have more possession of the ball? - Pacific FC - HFX Wanderers FC Armen: The Wanderers' midfield is a little more technically suited to possession, though the margin probably won't be wide. Q5: Which club will commit the most fouls? - Pacific FC - HFX Wanderers FC Armen: Neither team seems particularly physical, though away teams are historically more inclined to an extra foul or two. Q6: Which goalkeeper will record a clean sheet? - Pacific FC - HFX Wanderers FC - Neither Armen: Neither team – there's just too much attacking quality on both sides to keep the ball out of either net. Q7: Which club will win the game? - Pacific FC - HFX Wanderers FC - Draw Armen: It'll be a close one, that's for sure – too close to call, so a historic first-ever CPL draw, perhaps?
