4 years ago 995

Major League Soccer will see Charlotte FC take on Orlando City this weekend at Bank of America Stadium in the 27th round of the USA football top flight. Kickoffs on August 22 at 02:00 EAT.

Charlotte FC currently occupies the 10th spot with 32 points, just a point and two places below the playoffs with eight matches left to play. Christian Lattanzio’s men will fight to clinch into the playoffs in their first year in the MLS. Coming into this game, Charlotte however lost four of their last six matches (LLWLLW).

Charlotte FC prepares for this meeting in high spirits after 1-3 MLS triumph over New York City FC in their previous game. In that match, Charlotte FC had 35% possession, six shots with five of them on target and goals scored by Karol Świderski (4′), Brandt Bronico (77′) and Christian Fuchs (91′). New York City FC got 14 shots with six of them on target and a goal by Maxime Chanot (28′) was the scorer for New York City FC.

Orlando City currently sits in seventh position which is the final playoff play in the Eastern Conference, and a defeat on Sunday would result in their hosts leapfrogging them in the standings. Oscar Pareja’s side will now turn their attention to Sunday’s contest after winning just two of their previous nine MLS matches (DLWLLW).

Orlando City head looking for more of the same results after 0-1 MLS win to beat New York Red Bulls in their last game. In that match, Orlando City had 55% possession, two shots with one of them on target and a goal scored by Facundo Torres (17′). New York Red Bulls got 15 shots with one of them on target.
