With the top-seven race proving to be a tight one, New York Red Bulls and Charlotte FC face off on matchday 17 with just goal difference separating the two. This match on Saturday local time at the Sports Illustrated Stadium between the 8th-placed NYRB and the 7th-placed ‘Crown’ could end up in favor of the hosts, and that’s our match prediction as well.
Ahead of this round of fixtures, NYRB’s 22 points (W6, D6, L4) put them just outside the top seven on goal difference. Marginally above them are Charlotte, but with a single point separating teams from fifth to eighth, the race to the top seven is getting interesting.
The NYRB lost 3-1 away at Philadelphia Union this week, as action resumed in the MLS. That result ended a four-game unbeaten streak they stitched before the break (W3, D1). The Red Bulls still have work to do at home, where they won only one of their last four league games (D2, L1).
Charlotte dropped points in a 2-2 home draw against Atlanta in their first game on resumption. They are still unbeaten in three league games (W2, D1) but have struggled on the road. Four defeats in the last five league trips (W1), including three in a row, paint a grim picture for the visitors ahead of this trip.
