Preview & Prediction: New York Red Bulls vs Charlotte FC

Given the historical head-to-head record and current form, New York Red Bulls seem to have the upper hand in their upcoming MLS encounter against Charlotte FC. The Red Bulls have consistently dominated their meetings, securing victory in half of their clashes and displaying exceptional form at their home ground. With an impressive average of 2.29 Points Per Game in home fixtures this season, they are expected to leverage their home advantage once again.

On the contrary, Charlotte FC has struggled significantly in away matches, with a dismal average of just 0.57 Points Per Game. Their performance away from home has been underwhelming, which may affect their chances in this matchup. The last encounter saw New York Red Bulls triumph with a 2-0 victory, and with Charlotte’s recent form, a repeat outcome is within the realm of possibility.

Moreover, matches between these two teams have frequently been high-scoring affairs, averaging 3.38 goals. With both teams frequently finding the back of the net against each other (BTTS occurring 75% of the time), we can anticipate a similar dynamic in this fixture. Thus, New York Red Bulls to win, potentially with both teams scoring, looks to be a strong bet given the circumstances.
