Charlotte FC vs New York Red Bulls Prediction: A possible draw between two poor teams

Charlotte FC and New York Red Bulls both gear up for some domestic league action this week. Charlotte FC will host the Red Bulls at the Bank of America Stadium. The last time they played against each other, the Red Bulls won 3-1 at home and now Charlotte is eager to get some revenge in this second meeting.

Charlotte FC is back in the MLS after their brief participation in the North and Central American Leagues cup tournament. They played only 2 group games in the tournament and failed to qualify for the knockout rounds. They lost the first match to Philadelphia Union before playing a goalless draw against Cruz Azul in the second leg.

Charlotte’s form prior to the league form was poor as they had 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats in their last 5 league matches (LLWDD) and at home their records were: 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat (DDWDL).

Currently, Charlotte FC is ranked 6th on the Eastern Conference table with 37 points from 25 matches.

The Red Bulls also return to the MLS after a poor performance at the Leagues Cup tournament. And their first match since their elimination from the Leagues Cup is against Charlotte. The Red Bulls lost both group games in the Leagues Cup against Toronto FC and Pachuca.

Prior to the Leagues Cup, the Red Bulls were on an 8-match unbeaten streak. Their last 5 league matches ended in 1 win and 4 draws (DDDDW). And away from home, their records were 3 draws and 2 defeats (LLDDD).

According to the Eastern Conference table, New York Red Bulls is ranked 4th with 41 points in 25 matches.

In their 7 meetings against each other, the New York Red Bulls recorded 4 wins, Charlotte recorded 1 win and 2 matches ended in a draw.

Both clubs are really disappointing in terms of current form and we can almost predict both teams struggling to play proper football in this match. More shocking is the away form of New York Red Bulls. Although they managed to avoid defeat in 3 consecutive away matches, we don’t expect to see that continue in the upcoming matches. Charlotte FC is not doing any better either, but they have the advantage of playing at home and they might be in the mood for a revenge against the Red Bulls for the first defeat away from home.
