Match Preview: New York Red Bulls vs Charlotte FC
New York RB and Charlotte FC are set to clash in an intense MLS encounter. Despite Charlotte FC’s good away form, New York RB remains the favorites due to their superior head-to-head record and slightly better home form. However, New York RB has struggled with scoring, and it remains to be seen if the manager will change tactics or bring in a new forward. With both teams scoring in recent games, it is likely that BTTS will happen, and the match will see over 2.5 goals scored. A narrow victory for New York RB is predicted, with a 2-1 scoreline the most likely outcome.
