After a losing effort in their last game against Philadelphia Union in MLS action, Charlotte FC and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.
In that match, Charlotte FC managed 52% possession and 8 shots at goal with 2 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Charlotte FC was Wilfried Zaha (78'). On the other side, Philadelphia Union had 19 attempts at goal with 9 of them on target. Jesús Bueno (45') and Markus Anderson (90') scored for Philadelphia Union.
Charlotte FC have been dangerous up front leading up to this encounter, having scored 12 times in their previous 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that Charlotte FC have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 5 of those same games. Such a trend isn’t assured to be continued into this next game, however.

Team News: Charlotte FC
Charlotte FC manager Dean Smith has a number of players out of action. Brandon Cambridge (Muscle injury), Nimfasha Berchimas (Foot injury), Jahlane Forbes (Muscle injury) and Nathan Byrne (Neck injury) are those who can’t be considered.
From our viewpoint, Charlotte FC will likely make use of a 4-3-3 formation, choosing David Bingham, J. Marshall-Rutty, Adilson Malanda, Andrew Privett, Souleyman Doumbia, Ashley Westwood, Pep Biel, Brandt Bronico, Kerwin Vargas, Idan Toklomati and Wilfried Zaha.
🧠
Prediction
We are of the inclination to think that Charlotte FC and Sporting Kansas City should both be able to find the back of the net at least once here although it’s difficult at this stage to select a clear winner.
Let’s see what happens, but it could well be that we get quite a few goals with scores finishing level. Our tip is therefore for a highly competitive game with a 2-2 when the referee blows the final whistle.
