New York City vs Charlotte FC Predictions
[wptb id=391219]
An MLS Battle Filled with Uncertainty
Key Stats
– Charlotte FC have struggled on the road, with a three-match winless streak punctuating their recent away performances.
– Both teams have exhibited a trend of scoring and conceding goals early and late in games.
As Major League Soccer (MLS) continues its exciting run, New York City FC (NYCFC) is set to host Charlotte FC at Citi Field this Wednesday. Both teams are no strangers to draws recently, making the match all the more riveting.
Recent Performance Analysis
Coming fresh off a franchise-record winless streak, NYCFC managed to secure their first win after a bleak run of 11 games without a victory. This victory came against CF Montreal in a 1-0 finish that had NYCFC supporters collectively heaving a sigh of relief. This win was not only their first on the road this season, but it also marked the end of a 12-game drought in all competitions.

On the flip side, Charlotte FC have’t been able to register a win in their last five MLS games, their most recent fixture against Le CFM ending in a goalless draw. Christian Lattanzio’s squad has struggled to find their winning edge, particularly on the road, where they’re currently on a three-match winless run. Despite taking early leads in matches, Charlotte have often seen these evaporate, making a draw a recurring theme in their outings. Both teams exhibit strong defensive characteristics that could neutralise their offensive efforts.
Injury Updates and Squad Changes
NYCFC will be missing Santiago Rodriguez due to suspension, while James Sands is away on national duty. Thiago Martins, too, remains sidelined with a knee injury. On the bright side, Matias Pellegrini’s first goal for NYCFC provided a crucial victory against CF Montreal, further boosting the team’s morale.
For Charlotte FC, injuries to Adilson Malanda and Hamady Diop present selection concerns, although the upcoming secondary transfer window could open the door for recent signing Scott Arfield from Rangers.
Goals Expected In A Balanced Affair
Looking at the recent form of both NYCFC and Charlotte FC, it’s quite evident that they are finding it hard to claim outright victories. NYCFC managed to end their longest winless run with a narrow win over CF Montreal. Despite this victory, their overall form points towards a hard-fought game where they might not be able to secure a victory.
On the other hand, Charlotte FC, despite taking early leads in their games, have a recent track record of squandering these advantages, leading to multiple draws in their recent outings. Their away form is also less than ideal, having not registered a win in their last three away games.
Considering the offensive capabilities of both teams, it’s likely that both sides will find the back of the net. NYCFC have shown they can score first in their matches, while Charlotte FC have a tendency to find late goals.
However, due to their recent struggles to maintain leads and win games outright, it is highly probable that the match will end in a draw despite both teams scoring. This result has been common for both teams recently, adding more weight to this prediction. Predicting a correct score in a football match is always a tricky affair due to the many variables at play. However, based on the recent form and scoring patterns of both NYCFC and Charlotte FC, a 1-1 draw seems like a decent correct score bet in this match.
