Comment les deux équipes abordent-elles ce match ?
Charlotte FC’s season has been a rollercoaster, and recent results have seen them fall into a five-game losing streak across all competitions. The frustration was palpable following their US Open Cup elimination, and they’ll be desperate to arrest the slide and restore some confidence. Home advantage will be key, and the hosts will look to their supporters to spark a revival.
On the other side, Columbus Crew have shown signs of steady improvement, with the draw against FC Cincinnati underlining their competitive edge. Coach Wilfried Nancy has emphasized that the squad is close to hitting peak form, and they’ll aim to build on that momentum. A solid defensive display combined with quick transitions could be their recipe for success at Charlotte.
Nos prévisions
Expect a tight, low-scoring affair as both teams battle for control in midfield. Charlotte FC will likely set up with a compact shape, hoping to hit the Crew on the break, while Columbus may dominate possession and probe for openings. Given the visitors’ recent resilience, a narrow win or draw seems the most probable outcomes.
Ultimately, this game could hinge on a single moment of quality or a defensive lapse. We fancy Columbus Crew to edge it by the slimmest of margins, but a draw is a very realistic option if Charlotte can hold firm at the back. Goals may be at a premium, so backing under 2.5 goals could also prove a smart play.
