Expected score: Fargo Force 4-2 Cedar Rapids
Fargo ForceDrawCedar Rapids
Fargo Force host Cedar Rapids in a USHL matchup on October 23, 2026. The Force sit second in the standings with 14 points from 10 games, while Cedar Rapids lead the league on 16 points from 11 matches. Both teams are in strong form, but Fargo's recent output has been exceptional.
Team form
Fargo Force
Fargo Force have won their last five games without defeat. In that run they scored 27 goals and conceded just 5, averaging 5.4 per game at the offensive end. Their last two outings against Green Bay were particularly dominant—a 10-2 win followed by a 5-1 victory. Before that, they blanked Sioux Falls 5-0 at home and won 3-2 away. This is a team playing with real confidence and clinical finishing.
Cedar Rapids
Cedar Rapids have mixed results in their last five. They won three of those games, including a 5-3 home victory over Sioux Falls most recently, but also suffered two losses: 1-2 to Omaha and 2-6 to Madison. Over the five-game stretch they scored 17 goals and conceded 16, giving up 3.2 per game on average. That defensive inconsistency is a concern when facing a Force side in this kind of rhythm.
Head-to-head
These teams have not met in the available record, so there is no direct history to draw on. Both are among the league's better sides, but they arrive at this fixture from very different trajectories.
Key factors
Fargo's offensive firepower is the standout factor. Scoring 5.4 goals per game over five matches is elite-level production, and their defence has been equally miserly at 1.0 conceded per game. Cedar Rapids' attack is solid at 3.4 goals per game, but their defence has been leaky—they gave up six goals to Madison and two to Omaha in recent weeks. The Force's consistency in both phases gives them a structural edge. Cedar Rapids' ability to stay composed and limit Fargo's chances will be critical; if the Force get ahead early, the visitors could struggle to keep pace.
Prediction
Fargo come in as the clear favourite. They have superior recent form, a more reliable defence, and are playing at home. Cedar Rapids are the league leaders but have shown defensive vulnerabilities that align poorly with facing a Force team in this kind of scoring form. The expected output suggests Fargo will control the game and create more chances. Cedar Rapids can score—they proved that against Sioux Falls—but they will need a tighter defensive display than they have shown in their last two outings.
Back Fargo Force to win. They are the stronger team on current form and should have too much firepower for a Cedar Rapids side that has been inconsistent at the back. A home victory is the most likely outcome.
