- Charlotte haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
- Philadelphia Union have the most scored goals (68) in Major League Soccer
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Charlotte form and stats
9 victories, 0 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Charlotte have to build on here at Bank of America Stadium in the Major League Soccer. When Charlotte hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like New York City, Montreal Impact and New York RB), they have won 2 of 3 matches!
Charlotte are returning here after visiting Chicago Fire and winning with a 3-2 scoreline. Santos and Świderski (2) scored the goal(s). A very satisfying win for Charlotte against Chicago Fire last time out as a late comeback secured the victory after trailing 0-2. The win was secured through Świderski's goal in the 90th minute. A late climax in the match against Chicago Fire as the winning goal came six minutes into overtime; scored by Świderski. Midfield player Świderski got a match rating of 8.04 in that game, the max score being 10. Świderski scored two goals.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting New York City in a game that was won 1-0.Scoring bonanza? Who knows what will happen in this one, but we do know that 10 of the 13 latest league matches with this side has had three or more goals.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Charlotte as they have a new game in only four days, a Major League Soccer match thankfully also at home. Columbus Crew are visiting.
The Charlotte fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 15 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Charlotte are not conceding a lot of goals here at Bank of America Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 14 from 15 matches.
Philadelphia Union form and stats

That result followed a home victory 5-1 versus Orlando City.Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Philadelphia Union have scored 23 goals in 16 league games away. It's not easy to score on Philadelphia as they have only conceded 13 goals from these away games.
