Charlotte FC Orlando City betting prediction

The home team comes to this stage of the MLS (MLS Cup ‑ Round 1) after having eliminated Orlando City with a away loss by (2‑0) in the previous round. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the last 10 home league matches Charlotte has a record of 4 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 16 points out of 30 possible. There are a few recurrent results in their home league matches at half‑time: 1‑0 (6 out of 17 matches) and 0‑0 (7 out of 17 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches for this competition there is a tendency for few goals, since 11 of the last 17 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 14 of their 35 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

The 2-0 defeat in the last match is a warning sign for Charlotte for this round. The team needs to reverse this situation, but will need to show more efficient football this time. Having better use of the final third of the field is a decisive step towards achieving an important result in this match against the Orlando team.
