In their Game 1 of the Best of Three series, Charlotte FC will open their MLS Cup playoffs campaign against New York City at home. The fourth and fifth seeds in the Eastern Conference will face off at the Bank of America Stadium. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Charlotte bagged 59 points in the regular season, a club record, and will carry with them an air of confidence into this game. They are coming off a 2-0 win over Philadelphia Union, their eighth victory in the last 10 matches.
In seven of those wins, Charlotte kept clean sheets and will be out to avenge their loss to New York in their last meeting.
New York City goes into this game eyeing a third win in four meetings with Charlotte. That will call for massive improvement on their recent performances.
The visitors are coming off a run of three defeats in the last four matches. The most recent of them was a 2-1 reverse at home to the Seattle Sounders.
The four defeats they’ve suffered in the last 10 matches tell a story of their travels. On the road against Charlotte, they suffered four defeats in four meetings, and they scored in only one of them.
