Charlotte FC

Charlotte FC's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with the team struggling to secure victories on the road. Despite their impressive 2nd position in the league, their last six away matches have yielded no wins, four draws, and two losses. The team has shown resilience in drawing four consecutive matches, including two 2-2 results against Seattle Sounders and LA Galaxy, which stand out as their highest-scoring away games in this period.

Their defensive record shows some promise, with 67% of their away matches featuring under 2.5 goals and one clean sheet achieved. Nevertheless, the team's inability to convert draws into wins away from home remains a concern, especially given their strong league position.
