Orlando City vs Charlotte FC

Current streaks

Recent form

Orlando City

Orlando City have been showcasing impressive defensive solidity in their recent form, maintaining an unbeaten run of 10 games and securing five clean sheets in their last six matches. Their goal-scoring prowess was particularly evident in their recent US Open Cup triumph, where they thrashed Tampa Bay Rowdies 5-0. Despite this attacking display, the team have been involved in a series of low-scoring affairs in the league, with four of their last five Major League Soccer matches ending in draws, three of which were goalless. The Lions' resilient defence is further highlighted by their remarkable record of conceding only 0.5 goals per game over the last six matches. However, their tendency to draw matches (four in the last six) may be hindering their progress up the league table, as they currently sit in 8th position with 17 points from 11 games.

Charlotte FC

Charlotte FC have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with a balanced record of three wins and three losses in their last six games. The team have demonstrated their attacking prowess, scoring an impressive 11 goals in these fixtures, averaging 1.83 goals per game. Defensively, they have been relatively solid, conceding 8 goals at an average of 1.33 per match. Charlotte FC's matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their games featuring over 2.5 goals. The team have managed two clean sheets during this period, highlighting their occasional defensive resilience. Notably, Charlotte FC secured a convincing 4-1 victory against North Carolina in the US Open Cup, showcasing their ability to dominate matches. However, their recent league form has been inconsistent, with back-to-back losses against Columbus Crew and New England Revolution, indicating room for improvement in their quest to maintain their 5th position in the league table.

Recent home/away form

Orlando City

Orlando City have shown impressive home form recently, remaining unbeaten in their last five matches at their own ground. The Lions have been particularly prolific in front of goal, scoring an impressive 16 times in their last six home games, averaging 2.67 goals per match. Notably, they've recorded two high-scoring victories, thrashing both DC United and Toronto FC 4-1 and 4-2 respectively. Their defensive record has been somewhat mixed, keeping two clean sheets but also conceding three goals in their most recent home fixture against New England Revolution. The team's matches have been entertaining affairs, with 83% of their last six home games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in two-thirds of these encounters. Despite their strong attacking output, Orlando City's inconsistency is reflected in their current 8th position in the league table.

Charlotte FC

Charlotte FC's recent away form has been inconsistent, with the team struggling to find consistent success on the road. Despite their respectable 5th position in the league, their away performances have been underwhelming, with four losses in their last six away matches. The team have managed two wins during this period, including an impressive 4-1 victory over North Carolina in the US Open Cup. Charlotte FC have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, notably the 4-2 loss to Columbus Crew and the aforementioned cup win. Defensively, the team have been vulnerable, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game and keeping only one clean sheet in their last six away matches. Their goal difference of -2 and the fact that both teams have scored in 50% of these games suggest that Charlotte FC are often involved in competitive matches, but are struggling to come out on top consistently when playing away from home.
