After an interesting and high-scoring US Open Cup excursion on the road during the week, it's back to Yankee Stadium for the NYCFC boys on Saturday evening, when they'll host Charlotte, who like the hosts, made light work of scoring goals against lower-level opposition in the US Open Cup just a few days ago. After tasting defeat on the road in Vancouver last weekend, the boys from the Bronx will be pleased to return home, where they've certainly packed a punch offensively this season. 

The visitors, under the guidance of Dean Smith, also know how to hurt teams in the final third, but they've not defended too well away from home, conceding four goals in two games, which doesn't exactly point towards them shutting out a high-scoring NYCFC team. To be honest, looking at all the evidence ahead of this game, a bet on both teams to find the net appeals given early odds of -137.

Our New York City vs Charlotte FC Prediction

Defensive security is something that we often associated with Charlotte, but on the road, in 2026, they've not looked too sharp at the back, while the hosts haven't looked great from a defensive point of view on the road or at home. In other words, it won't be a shock if both teams make offensive headway in this fixture, so much so that 'Both Teams to Score' looks a little leniently priced at -137. 

The hosts are without a clean sheet at home in three games, while the visitors are without a shutout on the road this term, and that's not something that can be easily ignored.
