Two teams that experienced contrasting weekends will clash at Bank of America Stadium on Wednesday night. Playing in front of a home crowd, the Charlotte boys will be looking to improve. They did stop the rot by tying at home to Cincinnati on Saturday evening, but that result marked a fifth game in all competitions without a win. In contrast, the visitors stepped on the gas to dismantle the Columbus Crew on Sunday afternoon, winning by three goals to zero in front of a home crowd.
In the early betting, 'Over 2.5 Goals' is available around the -137 mark, which looks a little lenient given what we've seen from the pair in recent weeks. The hosts will be looking to get on the front foot, which should promote an open game, which is something that both teams are quite familiar with. In other words, the goals could easily flow.

Our Charlotte FC vs New York City Prediction
Based on what we've seen from both teams in general over the last few weeks, coupled with the fact that the hosts really do need to open things up and push for the win, 'Over 2.5 Goals' looks too generously priced and is worth taking advantage of at anything bigger than -159. After all, the pair faced each other just a month ago, playing out quite a chance-filled game, one that contained three goals. Could we see something similar here? Absolutely.
Our Charlotte vs NYCFC Pick: Over 2.5 Goals.
