Charlotte FC versus FC Cincinnati is an MLS matchup on Saturday night at Bank of America Stadium. Charlotte FC will enter this contest in seventh position in the Eastern Conference with 14 points. However, these statistics can be deceiving as the hosts have struggled to put together consistent winning performances. They’re coming off a 1-0 defeat on the road to New England, their fourth straight defeat in all competitions.

FC Cincinnati, meanwhile, is sixth in the Eastern Conference with 15 points. Like the hosts, they’ve struggled to impress this season, losing four and winning four of their league assignments. However, they’ve shown great improvement recently after winning two games on the bounce to go on a five-game unbeaten run. Cincinnati can leapfrog Chicago and DC United in the conference standings with a win on Saturday.
