Charlotte vs D.C. UnitedPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Charlotte hold sixth place in the Eastern Conference on 29 points from 20 games (8 wins, 5 draws, 7 losses, 35-31) and come into this off a 3-3 away draw at Toronto FC, which followed a 3-1 win over Columbus Crew. On home soil their record is 6 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses (23-12). DC United, ninth on 24 points (5 wins, 9 draws, 6 losses, 27-33), arrive instead off a 0-3 defeat to New England Revolution, preceded by a 1-1 draw with CF Montreal; away from home the count rises to 2 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses, with 12 goals scored and 11 conceded. The head-to-head record heavily favours Charlotte, who have won four of the last five meetings and drawn the other, never losing to DC United in that stretch. On the scoring side, the North American league holds an average of 3.19 goals per game. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off.
