After New York City won Game 1 with a goal from Alonso Martínez at Bank of America Stadium, the Pigeons couldn't close out the series at Yankee Stadium, losing dramatically on penalties. Charlotte has forced a Game 3 against New York City on Friday at Bank of America Stadium. This match promises to be exciting and very close, according to pre-match betting odds.
Although Charlotte will be playing at home, New York City has proven to be a quite competent away team; they won three of their last four MLS away matches, and almost every time New York City scored first, they went on to win. That's exactly what happened in the first leg with Alonso's unanswered goal, but the truth is that both Games 1 and 2 featured strong defenses, particularly New York City's, which received eight yellow cards in the two matches.
Both teams have a history of playing Game 3s in the MLS playoffs; In 2024, also in the Round of 16, New York had to play the decisive match away from home, drawing 0-0 against Cincinnati and ultimately winning on penalties.

Our Charlotte FC vs New York City Prediction
Charlotte, like New York City last year, also had to face a third MLS playoff game in the Round of 16; it was against Orlando City, a heartbreaking match where they equalized in the first minute and ultimately won on penalties.
It could be, just like games 1 and 2, another high-scoring game where the team that takes the lead will defend it fiercely.
Our prediction for Charlotte vs New York City is: Under 2.5 goals.
