Who To Watch on the Pitch

Charlotte FC comes into this fixture confident after a string of victories, with players like Kristijan Kahlina in goal, ranked highly for saves in MLS this season, and offensive threats such as Wilfried Zaha and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting expected to lead the attack. Charlotte's creative midfielder Pep Biel is one of the top chance creators this season and will be key to breaking down the Red Bulls’ defence.

Meanwhile, the New York Red Bulls boast an unbeaten record against Charlotte in their last seven meetings, signalling a highly competitive match. Emil Forsberg, their chief playmaker, has created the most big chances for the team and will likely orchestrate much of their offensive play.
