New York Red Bulls vs Charlotte
📖 The Preview
Red Bulls are the team to back here at home. Their head-to-head record against Charlotte is decent enough, three wins from eight, and while their recent form is a bit patchy, they've got enough quality at Red Bull Arena to edge this one. Charlotte have been in awful shape lately, losing most of their last seven, and with Saint-Maximin's status uncertain, their attacking threat looks limited. Expect both teams to score, but New York to do just enough to take it 2-1.
