The MLS playoffs are underway, and the only match played on Tuesday will be Charlotte vs. New York City at Bank of America Stadium. Charlotte earned its highest-ever regular-season point total, 59, which earned it a fourth-place finish. New York City finished one spot lower and will enter the Round of 16 having lost three of its last four regular-season games.
But just as New York City performed brilliantly on the road in the regular season, Charlotte also performed outstandingly in North Carolina.
Charlotte's two most recent wins are a formidable demonstration that they are serious about these playoffs: goals from Zaha and Calderón Vargas helped them defeat the Eastern Conference leader, the Philadelphia Union, 2-0 to close out the regular season. Before that, they had a 3-0 win with a Toklomati hat trick, in a match where goalkeeper Kahlina saved a penalty from Messi to defeat Inter Miami, the betting favorite to win this MLS Cup..

Our Charlotte FC vs New York City Prediction
Just as Charlotte's Polish goalkeeper has been brilliant, so has Matthew Freese, the reliable New York City goalkeeper, who was even rewarded with a call-up to be the starting goalkeeper for the U.S. national team and has a good chance of appearing in the World Cup with the Stars and Stripes.
It should be a match of few chances; Since August, Charlotte and New York City have faced each other twice, with the home team winning each time by the same 2-0 scoreline. When New York City beat Charlotte a month ago, Paraguayan Alonso Martínez converted two penalty kicks; he, in any case, will likely be the one to lead the way for the Pigeons.
Our prediction for New York City vs Charlotte FC is: Under 2.5 goals.
