Charlotte is fifth in the East, while Washington DC sits 10th in the standings, one place below the play-in line, having the same number of points as Nashville, yet with a game more played. This meeting might be extremely important for the final playoff picture, as these two units present direct rivals for the postseason.
Before Betting on Charlotte vs. DC United
Charlotte is maybe the most unattractive team to watch in the MLS because they have an 18-18 goal difference in 17 events, playing very tough and dull soccer without too much excitement. Still, head coach Dean Smith doesn’t mind about that a lot because of the position in the standings.
The North Carolina team is solid at home, having just one defeat in nine clashes, five triumphs, and three ties. They scored ten and allowed six goals, which tells pretty much everything about the efficiency of those contests.
As for DC, they have been underachieving in the last five games, failing to win during that stretch. Overall, in the latest ten meetings, the team from the US capital won just twice, with five defeats and three ties, which is a pretty poor record.
Christian Benteke is the team’s top weapon. The Belgian striker has 12 goals, which is almost 50% of what DC scored (25) this year. If nothing else, Washington’s games are exciting and efficient. Seven of those ten saw over 2.5 goals, while eight ended with both teams netting.
Charlotte vs. DC United Head to Head
There were no matches between these units this season. Last year, they played twice, and DC had more success—a win 3-0 at home and a goalless draw on the road.
